Just checked and lots of these tubes currently being offered for reasonable prices on the e-place . The EL-34s are good tubes. Couple of these will put out a lot more audio running AB1 than a pair of 807s. Swapped a pair into a Viking 2 a while ago and eliminated many of the well known audio shortcomings found in the stock version of that rig. Dennis D. W7QHO Glendale, CA
