No need to wait. Grab one of these ($20) and start goofing around with it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/193443031569 Pros $20 Works Socket accepts EM800, EM84 Includes Chinese 6E2 (EM84) Has proper connectors for hookup (not terminal blocks) 12V barrel jack 3.5mm mini-phone jack Includes mic capsule for fun with ambient sounds Cons Cheaply made but surprisingly good considering the price. I have no regrets. I also bought six of these boards: https://www.ebay.com/itm/191011269169 And two packs of these sockets: https://www.ebay.com/itm/193444297823 Voila. All of the necessary sockets for EM80/EM81, EM84/EM800 and 6E5S (Soviet 6E5). I have at least two of each tube. The seller has individual boards with some of the above tubes. They're more expensive but... https://www.ebay.com/itm/201015164495 ...the same board with a Soviet 6E1P (EM80) for $54? That's cheap and it works straight out of the bubble wrap. Only four left. I prefer an EM81 but EM80s are cheap. Terry Bowman, KA4HJH "The Mac Doctor" https://www.astarcloseup.com “...the book said something astonishing, a very big thought.
