I found these Sylvania/s on eBay (it isn't clear if he has more than one) which look interesting:I don't think there's a cross reference / replacement tube for the JAN5899.
But, there are some eBay vendors who sell "matched" sets of JAN5899 tubes.

Do you mind if I ask a question about resistors?
I measured all 10 B4-X fixed resistors -albeit with a cheap multimeter- and their values are: 2.5k ohm (x2) 118k ohm (x2) 25 ohm (x4) and 30k ohm (x2).
I'd like to replace them with Caddock MK232 which replace the excellent MK132's I've used in the past, but they aren't available in the exact values. Do you think their values would be "close enough"?
Default values are: 25, 2.5k, 30k and 118k - whereas Mouser have MK232's in the closest values of 20, 2k, 50k, and 100k.
Otherwise I could use Caddock MP930 resistors which come in 25, 2.5k, 30k and 125k, but they are TO-220 package and there isn't a lot of room on the board, plus the leads are thick. There may be other brands of small form factor high-end resistors that are a major upgrades on the (Dale?) resistors the amp comes with that I'm not aware of.
