   Hi all,

  I have finally gotten around to setting up and testing a set of 
Drake "B" line
twins that I purchased from the original owner last year. The transmitter
loads up quite well and am very satisfied with that, but the receiver leaves
quite a bit to be desired. My first thoughts were that maybe a tube or two
was on its last legs and needed to be replaced. After doing a Google search
for "vacuum tudes" I went to "TubeDepot site and checked the prices of all
the tubes in the R4B and got a shock when I looked at the selection and prices
for a 12AX7!!! There must be about 15 or more different prices. My question
is, which tube is the best one for this application?? Most mention 
use in a guitar
amp or some other amplifier..

  What say, which one is the right one and where might be the best 
place to get
these tubes???

Tnx es 73, Dan Bolander, WB9TYT
