    im off to the jumble on sunday and im on the lookout for some NOS valves,
    mine uses 4 kt88 power valves but its the other smaller valves id like to change.
    the amp uses 2 6H8C by Sovtek and also 2 ECC811 by JJ.

    Get there early for the fabled NOS KT88, it's a bit like a Brexit win, don't risk the family hatchback on it. As for the ECH811 there's a chance there,
