    I'm getting a Quad of gold lion, and I think I'll probably need to re-bias my amp just like yourself.

    tread carefully - you might want to check out how to find Hotrox in Nottingham before you go and check they are open and have stock, its a long journey if you dont like the options John has available. He likes GEC and a used quad could be pricey.

    I have never known him to carry stock in the way of new output valves, (sellers give very short warranty on them). I am sure he has part used if you are thinking about that route. if he has much else but I guess its possible that he might have a one off quad that was bought in for a new build or something.
