How much do the Yamamoto sockets cost?

The price varies a little depending on what all sockets would be in your amp.

I think when Glenn checked it was about $700 for my amp if I wanted them. It would be a total of 11 sockets for me.
so I guess $60 to $65 each would not be far off

The 300B amp is too heavy to carry anywhere! It's a beast.

I've spent much more on tubes for my upcoming GOTL than I have for the 300B.

The EL3N is heavy, so I can imagine how heavy the 300B is with that big chassis.

That is the only bad thing about the OTL.
The best power tubes and driver tubes will cost you much more cash than the amp cost these days!

You can get well over $1000 in some of the best power tubes not stamped 6BL/X 7
There are lots of great driver tubes that are in the hundreds also.

The best tubes are really expensive these days, be prepared to open the wallet for people wanting these.

Fortunately for most, the amp sounds great with even the cheapest tubes.

Yes probably no need to spend lot's of $'s on tubes for the GOTL. I've built up my collection over the years, and most of them can be used in my existing WA22 as well.

That is a big plus, having different amps that can use the same tubes.
I love all of your cool gear.

Wow, that is a lot of snow for you guys.

Yes, I know all about that lake effect snow.

I went to a Cleveland Browns football game in the 80's...by the end of the game about 10 inches of snow had fallen.
We had a hard time finding our vehicle ,

Ouch! That's a steep price to pay. Almost half of my amp build just for the sockets...better spend that money on tubes then
What about these sockets? Any good?

In the 90s when my daughter was born my mother inlaw came to help. We went to the hospital 3hrs later there was 8" on the ground.
She feared snow and was watching the weather and there was no forecast of snow.
She panicked I said no big deal this happens all the time if the wind starts blowing over the unfrozen lakes we get snow with no forecast of it.

China sockets not nearly as good as Yamamoto. Especially if you plan on doing lots of tube rolling.
At that price I am not making any money on them.
