They can run upwards of $200 each in the states. On Ebay, they
might command even higher due to the psychosis over RCA brand name.
Lots of people in Asia would be very interested.If treated well, i.e. not mechanically jarred and run below plate
dissipation, they will last a long, long time.$20, I'd fly to Argentina to buy them. ;)
There are many 211 designs on the Internet to look at. Likewise,
there are many transformer designers with devices SPECIFICALLY
for this tube. The 211 is probably the second speciality for a boutique winder, after the 300B and you will find all kinds of
people with trannies for this tube: Lundahl, Black Art Audio,
Tribute, Border Patrol, just to name a few...After your 2A3 project. ;)
