Where do you guys buy replacement tubes?


I'm sure it's been covered, but I haven't found it. I'm looking to replace my sons tubes in his amp. We have had some bad experiences to date with suppliers and I would like your recommendations on good suppliers. His amp uses 6336A tubes, a real odd ball, so the supplier needs to cover alot of types I would guess. Thanks for your help, J.D.

here the last pickup I can grind them for is 4PM. We are at the top of the street right below the entrance to Mt. Baldy. I know they pick up at the larger drop off points near Ontario Airport by 5PM.....

Don't forget we lose a couple hours on you Ned. My driver was late yesterday, here at 6PM...and here it is 6:53AM in California, and the package will be delivered on some island in Florida within a half hour. I don't know how they do it.

I don't know if I really believe Richardson is making 6336A or B....not that they would ever ever mis-represent ANYTHING...what with the great job they did re-releasing the Amperex Bugle Boy using the original burn in racks from Holland and all.
Yeah, it helps that we're not far away from O'Hare airport, which of course is one of Fedex Express' major dispatch points. We switched to Fedex Ground from UPS because the Fedex Ground guy picks up here about 3 hours later than UPS guy will.

Yes,Richardson really does/did make Cetron 6336's..like you said, there's plenty of other stuff they don't make that they relabel and sell as Amperex & National, but
not in this case. I'm not endorsing Richardson, mind you. Besides, it's kinda silly for him to be paying $141 for 6336's when he can get Tungsols from you for $40 or Cetrons from Fair Radio for $30!
Yea...they may say it...but I don't believe them if they say they do. Just my opinion, mind you. If they did not do enough volume to keep the GE 6550A line going after they bought it....who is buying all these 6336A? Why would anybody make that tube?

It's like that Mu 6900 deal. I don't buy that deal either.
