[Amps] 3CX5000A7 -YC156 -YC179 Tube amplifier question

[Harald]

Sorry Carl. I will rethink!
I have no clue about the going rate for these units in Europe while I 
notice they may be sold at the 1-3K USD level on the left side of the 
Atlantic ocean.
If some of you ampers know what the typical selling price in Europe is 
please give me a hint. Freight cost alone to central Europe will be very 
high so I anticipate the unit will sit safe in my shack and not be 
cannibalized.

However I did not get any comment on the suitability of the T-368 
components for those tubes..
