Guitar Player magazine always contains ads for vacuum tubes --
especially those likely to be found in guitar amps, even
old and obscure ones.  The companies usually claim to either
sell matched sets that they have rigorously checked out, and
to weed out less-than-optimal performers.  I believe at least
one of the companies claims to have their tubes custom-manufactured
to their own specs.  Some of the tubes have extra features, such
as gold-plated pins.  The companies that come to mind are
"Groove Tubes," "Mesa Engineering" and "Peavey Electronics."
See an issue of the mag for addresses & details.  (Available
at any music store or good newsstand).
