Ill have to start looking aswell I was actually sitting here today thinking about how many people right now have tubes like this in there attic, basement or garage and have no clue what the hell there for or how many people threw them out over the years not knowing what they even were.

I was also thinking how much money a company would make i they would start making some of these more popular tubes again but we know we will never see that happen. I thought about getting into the tube business years back and should have I used to see surplus of tubes for sale here and there now days it wouldnt even be worth it unless you were into the new high dollar tubes and there wouldnt be any promise in that either.

Owell so the hunt goes on I often thought about finding another Palomar 350Z but it also uses these 6LQ6 tubes and after messing with my old Ameritron I dont think I can even look at another old sweep tube amplifier. I should really just part my Ameritron AL-84 out and get rid of the headaches. Its a shame because it doesnt need much but tubes alone are a pain to track down atleast new ones anyways.
