Hello fellow Club Polk members. I did not realize that I had not posted this here at Club Polk prior to now, so I thought I would contribute a list of tube suppliers and other tube related websites that I have gathered over the years. Just so you know, I have no affiliation with any link provided.

Tom, Pitt, and the other folks,
You guys are very welcome!
For some of you who are more inclined for the technical aspect of the Tubes, here is a good source for the samples, circuit ideas and tech info.

Brilliant list @treitz3 Can you suggest a place that carries 7 pin tube sockets that have an 11/16th pin circle? Maybe one that has a center grounding pin?
-
Thank you for the kind words Mr. Swauger. I do not know off of the top of my head where you can source what you are looking for. What I can do is ask around and hopefully find out for you sir.

Hi Tom,
I believe I found some at a site called PacificTV, they're in Canada and so far the service and communication has been top notch.
Cheers, Ken -
That's great! Please let us know if it works out for you....and if it does? Please do provide some sort of contact information. *winks* Enjoy the tunes and have a good evening.

Excellent post, thank you very much. Great work.

You had a couple of links I was missing. Thanks, Tom

How about a "bump" for those who may have missed this one or for those who are just now getting into tubes?
Have a good day all.
