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:

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.......
