tube supplier in UK

[stewtheking]

Anybody know of a good tube supplier in the UK that can do both the 12ae6a tubes (for the millett hybrid), and the 7pin pcb-mounted sockets to fit them.

I have been looking around, but not found anywhere that looks sensible, and after my $25 postage on my digikey order from the US, I don't really fancy another lump that size again for the tubes.

So, tube sellers in the UK.... on your marks.... get set.... GO!

I see neither 12ae6a valves, nor 7 pin pcb mount sockets at this vendor.

Drew (drewd) sells the sockets. I bought my valves from a guy on eBay, who I can safely say is the best person I've ever dealt with there. His name's Roy Golden, his username on eBay is "the-radio-tube-supply-company", I suggest you get in touch

Audiokit in Italy (www.audiokit.it) has the sockets. If you only order a few sockets, shipping should be reasonable. You can also get them from www.amplimo.nl but they charge EUR11 for postage regardless of how many (or few) you buy

I bought my valves from "Dr Roy" Golden as well, 5 for less than £7 good tubes as well.

Nice chap, selling tubes from his home. Went round and bought some sockets from him.
