In resurrecting a somewhat Ham-hacked Swan 120, I find I have only one 6DQ5 
to replace the 6146 that was kludged in.  I have another in a Swan 175, but 
thus no spares; so:

Besides the usual "green stamps", I have thousands of olde tubes for trade. 
Don't be shy; send your best list, and I promise to not have a one of them 
... or if by some miracle I do, they be's super-duper cheap (I need to 
deprive the brown reclusi of some habitat ...)  Anything from the olde 4-pin 
jobs to "big bottle" tx tubes lurk hereabouts ... lotsa 6SN7, 6L6, 807, 
1625, a couple of 2E22 ... if'n it don't have the right number, I can always 
change it (haha).

I have some few NOS, tho most are pulls.  All guaranteed to work as 
intended, or sometimes even not as designed, as in the case of the 6DQ5's 
I'm wanting ... FYI, the only sweep tubes I have are the older ones that 
don't get burnt up in CB abominations.

I'm aware of the 6DQ5's "dark heater" issue; I'll burn that bridge when I 
come to it ...
