Unfortunatly Ebay is the only way to get OS tubes at a decent price without spending alot of time going to ham radio shows etc. A tube tester is a must though. You have to test the tubes before you put them in your equipment. If your diligent you will snap up an auction here and there at a resonable price. I stay away from ads that say "as is" unless I can get the tube pretty cheap. Sometimes you get burned. So far so good (fingers crossed). You have to watch out for certain sellers though. Now buying from a reputable tube dealer is a good idea. Especially if you don't have a tube tester. But some of these guys charge an arm and a leg for the service (you know who you are). So it depends on what you want and how much you have to spend. A good tube tester isn't cheap. But it's fun to have one. It opens your tube world up a little more.
