I actually found this place near me. They supposedly have 3.5 million tubes in stock, over 2000 different types, in a 7500sq. ft. warehouse. I emailed them, and they have Amperex 6688 JAN, for $7 each. I will be picking up a few on Friday.

Good deal, reasonable price. BTW, 1) do not apply much force to the sides while "extracting" tubes. Just pull them up, slightly rocking back and forth 2) your new tubes will be smaller in size, its fine, do not worry
