There's a fellow named Lee that has a spot at the Omaha Indoor Flea 
Market (http://theomahafleamarket.com/) who has a huge collection of 
tubes for sale and trade. He sells mostly hi-fi equipment but he's got 
all sorts of stuff going through there. I've seen several old Heathkit 
power supplies and RF generators and some of the later Hallicrafter's 
receivers on his shelves, plus the inevitable CB stuff. He's got several 
tube testers and knows how to use them, and will test tubes for free.

He's the fellow that helped me find a good 35Z5GT when I needed one for 
the S-38 I fixed up a while back. I've gone back a few times to visit 
him and we always talk for at least an hour. The market is open on 
weekends from 10-6 or so, but occasionally it's also open late in the week.

He's got just the barest start to a website up at 
http://www.electronaddict.com/
There's an email address there if you have any questions for him.

He seemed like the sort of fellow that anyone who might need a tube 
should know about, so I'd hoped to do him a favor and mention him here. 
I hope this is ok, please let me know if not.
