"Despite being mass produced for the Russian military, this tube appears to have become extinct."
Is that true, these are no longer available? I bought a case of 100 a few years back, so haven't checked the vendors since then.

Well maybe not extinct, but very tough to find from reliable sources. And the price has definitely gone up. There are still some on ebay for $55 to $100 a quad, but are they rejects? Many reliable sources in Russia (tube-store.com, sovtube.com, ussr-tubes.com) list them as sold out.
Maybe Jim can chime in on why he stopped carrying them.
I ran out and couldn't get more other than onesy-twosies!
It wasn't that long ago, European eBay sellers commonly had these for sale in cartons of 100. Some were selling lots of 500 or 1,000. Even with shipping, the cost was only about $4 per tube. It seemed to be a nearly inexhaustible supply. I see now that eBay sellers only have them in pairs and quads, and prices are way up. Sure wish I'd bought more back then!

Lucky my lifetime is short. I think I've my lifetime supply, and they sound great in my Deuce, cathode resistors changed per Jim McShane and 6L6.
