How about some of the big Russian tubes? I've gotten the GS35b delivered to
my door for less than $100. It has a filament warm-up time, but the control
grid is  good for 26 watts and the tube doesn't require a socket. The
filament specs are 12.6 vac at 3 Amps.

Anyone else building with these tubes?

Thanks,
