Re: Cheap Canadian source for Amplifone tubes

I don't mind acting as a go-between here, the only question is customs
clearance, there might be taxes/duties charged crossing the border as these
tubes are NOT made in the US. I am also not sure if there are going to be
special papers on these items, for example when we ship video games (vector
or otherwise) we MUST fill out a couple of forms, one for FFC, the other
for Radiation (colour games only). So, there might be a good reason these
folks in T.O. (Toronto) don't ship to the US...Have you a phone number?

Heck maybe they have cheap 19VLUP22's!
