How about using a Russian GU43B? These are pretty much the same as a
4CX1000 though much, much cheaper. I even have a box of tubes and a few
sockets if anyone in the UK (or Germany - I work part time out of Berlin and
Hannover) is interested?
cheers

Okay guys, think I have it now, and all understood about the different tube
types, just sort of made me wonder for a minute.
The long and short of this story, I'm offered a 30S-1 as a gift but must buy
the
sealed in the bag factory fresh(ish) Eimac tube to go with it. Paying a fair
market price is therefore more than okay, I'm not looking to go cheap on
this
and indeed a little over the top will not be a problem, even make me feel a
little better. Now I've seen the likely value at a couple of places I can
make
an informed offer. Thanks to all.
Thread drift is okay by me, I suffer from wife drift! Far more troubling,
damned
expensive too, ha ha!
Cheers
Martin, HS0ZED
