Re: Cheap Canadian source for Amplifone tubes

They still don't, I'm talking to them right now trying to get the costs
figured out. How many people want these? It might work if we either ship
individually or ship a bunch to one person (Noel?) and then he break up the
shipment. This would reduce customs hassles for me, and cut costs...

But I need some idea of how many folks. Figure the tubes will run about
$100US plus shipping...
