Jim;
Are you sure that you need those tubes? Did you test the old ones? There
are many things that can go wrong with tube type electronic equipment and
the tubes are just one of them. I know of the outfit that you speak of,
their prices on components are quite reasonable. The 12k5 is a seldom used
tube, likely unused in anything other then car radios and dimmers, hence why
they are so cheap. I many even have some in my tube stash myself.
Best Regards
