[Amps] Big tubes AND THE SOCKETS FOR THEM

[Gene May]

I've recently learned the hard way that if you are looking for power tubes for making an amplifier, the search for the tubes can be the easiest part of the quest.  It took me longer to find sockets for 4CX600J's than it did for the tubes, and "on the way" I saw some truly frightening prices for the sockets -- some higher than the tubes themselves.  Chimneys were easier, there were acceptable prices from RF Parts.  Be patient and look WIDELY.
