[R-390] Whole New Tube Purchace

[Bob Camp]

Hi

My *guess* is that if we can get up a buy for a couple thousand tubes  
total, we can get a pretty good deal on them. There are only a  
handful of types used in the R-390A. If you include the R390 that ups  
the number a bit.  Obviously there would be a lot of work if  
everybody comes up with a "I need two of these and six of those".  My  
suggestion would be to come up with a simple list, and do the  
ordering in multiples of 10. My *guess* is that we would do well to  
avoid the stuff that the audio guys go nuts over to keep the cost down.

No, again I'm not trying to get into the tube buying or selling  
business. I stocked up a while back and have *plenty* for my needs.  
Tubes seem to last a good long while in an R390.
