The amp appears to only use one output pair at at time. You can buy a pair of tubes to start rolling. A nice pair of either EL34's or 6L6 would be a great way to start.
If you change the 6cs7, you will need to do all 4.
The 6cj3 is a single tube and is not supposed to affect sound much?
The output tubes will run at least $50 per pair. The other tubes are really cheap. You could retube this amp for about $150 plus shipping.

Get the tubes from Jim. The 6L6GC-STR Tung-Sol Quad is a good choice IMO.

I have KT-120's (matched quad) in mine that I bought from Jim and they sound great.

The rectifier tube (6CJ3 ) doesn't enhance the sound if at all when rolling In a non-stock one.

when i bought my leben i get it with GoldLion kt77 genalex russia .now it in the end i search on ebay about this kt77 and its much more expensive then the Tung-Sol 6l6gc, i like to know why and if the price is the diffrent or the quality is better in the kt77 goldlion or maybe is better to buy Tung-Sol 6l6gc ??
i order 2 6CS7 - Sylvania from Jim (because he have only 2 in his stock), and 2 others 6cs7 from ebay Sylvania USA Black Plates NOS Double Triode Leben Re-Branded for Westinghouse Canada .
is it all the 4 tubes 6cs7 will work togther very good or because they are 2 tubes from Jim and 2 from ebay but they same tubes sylvania 6cs7 and just diffrent companies and the 2 tubes from ebay NOS Double Triode Leben Re-Branded for Westinghouse Canada is this different (i really dont know what that means double triode ) will effect the sound or will make the sound not shine or it will be very good ??
please tell me
