I need a pair of working 450TL triodes. Yep, not one but a pair. 
Before you accuse me of being an AUDIOPHOOL, take a look at this:
http://www.aa9tt.com/Fun_Stuff/Amplifiers/Wilcox/wilcox.html

Its a Wilcox 96D, 2 - 12 MHz transmitter. Its less than a foot wide, 
but 6 feet tall and 3 feet deep. It works in a drawer, you can pull 
the entire guts out with one hand and look inside. I picked one up 
(three people to move it, weighs just under 400 lbs) Saturday at a 
SK's place nearby for $50. Mine needs a capacitor, RF choke and the 
two PA tubes, as well as a power supply of substantial capacity. I 
would like to restore it to working status, so the tubes are a start. 
If anybody has some old tubes that still have vacuum, contact me. 
thanks.
