One more thing: tubes still aren't that hard to come by if you need them. You can't exactly pop down to the corner drugstore or Radio Shack for a replacement, but there are plenty of companies selling them online. I've dealt with Antique Electronic Supply (www.tubesandmore.com) in the past, and I'm sure there are a few others (AES is just one of the largest, if not the largest).
And it's kind of fun to have Russian electronics... ;-) -michael NadaPong: Network game demo for Apple II computers! Home page: http://members.aol.com/MJMahon/ "The wastebasket is our most important design tool--and it's seriously underused."
