Does anyone have a NOS or recent quad of KT66s either new or slightly used for my monoblocs? I can't afford to pay a great deal so probably not looking at NOS classics more in the JJ/Marshall/Chinese side of things.
A pair of nice mesh grid EF86s a la Mullard would be nice, also an AZ1 rectifier .
But the trickiest one is the Ba valve (German Post valve) if anyone has any of these please get in touch!
Also I've got a few already but a nice pair of ECC83s would still be handy.

Quick google threw up 8 Ba tubes on ebay.de such as this one which doesn't seem out of the way pricewise:

Helps to search in German :)

Thanks for that Tom I actually bought 4 of the ones you found from a guy in Germany called Jan (aka askJan). They seem to be a later war economy version (although they still sound very nice). I was looking for some alternative types to do some rolling, or back ups of the earlier Siemens type with the lovely glass internals which are second in the ebay search you kindly ran but he seems to be asking a crazy price.

Thanks Mick that's what are in the monoblocs now but of an unknown age and usage. Would be great to get some new ones in, I believe these are the best brand for sonic applications? I ordered some of the Russian alternatives last week but not convinced they are exactly the same spec..

Let's touch base later on these and the ECC88/6922s for my Opera amp.
