Hi Barry (III),
If you haven't found it already, you might try the "TekScopes" list
on Yahoogroups. There are some true experts hanging out there. I
have a 545A and a 531...but no spare tubes. Luckily, I haven't
needed them yet. These scopes just keep going, and going, and
going.....
Good luck...pass on any sources you might dig up.
