Where to buy valves in the UK?
I might be in the market soon for some 300b's.
I know about Hotrox and Watford Valves. Who else distributes/sells in the UK, and are they any good?
Do people here have a view about ebay sellers of new valves (i.e. from HK or China)? Bona fide and responsible or dodgy and unreliable?

I wouldn’t risk expensive valves from eBay, too many fraudsters and copies.

I have used them for a couple of sets of PCC88's and they were fine!

Colomor Valves-
Appear to just sell on Ebay now but they were always reliable in the past.

There is also Drew on here who posts as da2222 who regularly sells top notch vintage small front end valves.
