Tarbaby, hi. It sounds like a truism, but it is always wise to know your seller. I would start with Antique Electronics in Tempe AZ (tubesandmore on the net). I would request a catalog. The folks in sales have always been more than helpful. They can walk back into the warehouse and check the bins for what is in stock. Very cool. Also, I like Michael Marx at SND Tube Sales. Mike is a one man band but he knows his tubes. I've known Mike for over 20 years. Do some comparison shopping via the net. There are some good sellers who sponsor AA. Check Fair Radio Sales in Lima, Ohio. They have a web site. Also - try to find out of there are any HAM fests in your area.
These amateur radio fests always feature a swap and shop. Sometimes it is in the parking lot a la tail gate. I know I'm forgetting a lot of dealers (no offense intended). I'm getting over a terrific cold and my mind is not at its sharpest. I would also get a copy of the GE Essential Characteristics handbook (Audio Amateur has republished it). With that book plus Duncan Amps web site you can look of at least some information on types, military/industrial versions, Euro versions, etc.
