I have a Viva Fono too, but, I use cheap Sovteks in it because the 300b's are being used as rectifiers and I doubt that higher quality tubes would make a difference in that capacity. I have NEVER had to change out those tubes as they are being put under very little stress.
You should contact the U.S. distributor of Viva products, Bob Clark. Last year, when I spoke with him, he said that the current Viva Fono uses 2a3's in the power supply and sound better. He said that the conversion is quite easy to do, although "easy" turned out to be not enough to counter "lazy" which is what I am, and I never bothered to pursue this further.
