Also of note. You can now purchase NEW US made 6CA7s. Not sure how well known 
the story is, but back in the mid 1990s, you could still buy the GE 6CA7 
tubes, as they were being produced in Owensboro KY, by Richardson industries, 
under license from GE. That production seemed to miss the big tube resurgance by a 
year or so, and the plant closed. BUT! a company called Groove Tubes. in 
California, bought the machines and the tooling. They are now marketing a 
California made 6L6 and a 6CA7. I think they are about $40 each. Considering the cost 
of a russian tube, and a NOS US made tube, I think its a good price. Ive yet 
to try them, but I have read nothing but good reviews.
