a controlled lot or batch for under say 40-50 bucks a pop.

Thats not a problem, you can buy new ones for around $40.00, as Amperite 
still manufactures them. But why bother? If you think the 3TF7 is critical to 
the operation of the R-390 or R-390A, just pull it out while it is 
receiving...........it will be several seconds before you even noticed that 
it isn't plugged in anymore. Now, that's food for thought.

Of course the others know that I'm a witch as I have had several with diodes 
in place of 26Z5W's and don't use ballast tubes.
