   > Prices are moderately up, but all the 'popular' tubes are readily available   
   at the usual sources. Even Amazon. Really.   
      
   **  How many did you actually buy lately ?    None I bet.   
      
   I live in Sydney, Australia.   
   All trustworthy dealers here were cleaned out by April.   
   By scalpers,  I bet.   
      
   I spent  A$750 on March 5 this year, on X7s, T7s, 6L6s and EL84s.   
   A week later, the same dealer had none left.   
   Staff told me one customer bough A$10k worth, the entire stock.   
      
   FOAD you vile cunt.
