[ARC5] restoring hacked vhf receiver

[Leslie Smith]

  Hello Gordon,

  ESRC - www.esrc.com   have the "14" series tubes at the outrageous
  price of $3.00 each (or $4.oo for the second item on your list).  If
  you want something more outrageous, you can buy a lot of x10 12A6
  "toobs" for US$10.oo
  I'm in Australia, so I don't buy often, but found the guy reliable.
