96.246.50.180
. . . . is at an historic low, worth about half of what it was during most of the year and even less compared to only 18 months ago. Tube merchants will, no doubt, be buying up all they can of current Russian production and any old stocks to be found there. Prices will fall, even of existing stock.
The effect on prices of NOS is harder to predict, but I would guess they would also be under price pressure.
So what are the best of current Russian production?
In my own case:
6DJ8 (or equiv.) (looking for exceptional quiet)
12AX7 (or equiv.)
12AT7 (or equiv.)
6X4
Only recently back to using tubes.

The petrodollar deal in the 1970s, US oil production being highest in 30+ years and agreement of OPEC to let the oil price fall in response to Putin attacking Ukraine. This oil price fall substantially effects Russian income with affecting the value of Russia's currency. OPEC & US can still make a profit at $40 a barrel whereas Russian requires substantially higher prices to just break even.

They need $80+ per barrel to feed themselves.
