Follow Ups:
My 5Y3 stock is mostly from an old TV repair shop I bought out in the late '80s. Lots of GE and Tung-Sol with Sylvania, RCA and Ken-Rad thrown in.Telefunken, Mullard, Brimar, Valvo, Mazda and Siemens all were absent in that buy. Luckily some stuff hasn't hit the rare and pricey yet.

...Lots of European 12**7 types. Those were acquired the hard way. I paid up to $15 for some of those (Actually more for some really old Telefunken smooth plates from Andy but that is a long story).I haven't gotten to Amperex yet. I currently have a really sweet pair of old Mullard ECC83s in there as well as a super tough, mil spec, 12AU7 equivalent (RCA command series 5814).
I love a set of nice Bugle Boy 12AX7s in my ARC phono section.
I need to put some hrs on the Cornet2 yet as I just installed Auricaps in it last night. In a few days I will really be going willy-nilly with the tube rolling.
I use Amperex 12AU7's in the front end of my amps tho. Sweet tubes. I just switched my Heathkit W5-Ms back over to GEC KT66s and GZ34 rectifiers today.
Nothing like a new component to inspire a fella to re-do the whole system. Ahhh, audiophilia...
there are five or six amps and pres waiting to be built from that pile. ;-)

I have half a dozen tube caddy's stocked like that one, and more in the shed.I am sick I tell ya...
It helped to be bitten by the tube bug 20 years ago, things were better then...
