Maybe I am missing something here, but this is the tube lineup for the
DX-100:
1 5V4
2 6AL5
2 5R4GY
1 0A2
1 6AU6
1 12BY7
1 5763
2 6146
1 6AQ5
1 12AX7
1 12BY7
2 1625
This said, Carl had it right. The listed tubes in Bry's sale belong in a
Viking II. Linky to manual:
http://www.radiomanual.info/schemi/Vari/Johnson_VikingII_user.pdf
The audiophools have indeed made things crazy. A quick "advanced search"
check of the sold listings on Fleabay have some silly people paying $50-100
dollars or more. But I also counted 15 sales in the past 30 days selling
for $5 or less, some with free shipping! Must be over 20 more under $10. I
have 4 of these I picked up at couple hamfests last year. NOS, and I know
that I have less than $10 in all of them. This tube is neither rare, in
short supply, or expensive unless one is a complete fool with their money.
Oh well. Things are silly everywhere overpriced yard sales are promoted
online.......
