I had spent some time cruising ebay and audio classified locations and got lucky ( as far as the price that is ). As Mendel said, you can still find them without mortgaging the house! I saw a few under the old US TV makers ( Admiral, Motorola, Maganavox, Philco, etc) as decent dollars.
I also read some of Mendels, Len's, Robert H. and others comments on this tube and they were helpful and informative. As with any tube, lots of opinions out there on the validity of the "Bad Boys" sonics vs the other 2hole and VT231 versions. The internals photo that was taken by Len here at Audio Asylum and posted a number of times shows the structural differences. And it matters not one cent to me that some large internet re-sallers discount the difference as "hog wash". Too many well seasoned and informed audio enthusiasts of whom I trust their reviews/opinions have clearly stated this tubes qualities.
