I'm not on that forum and have no interest in registering there for just one comment.
I say, if you want to increase your tube stock of new made tubes of Russian origin, buy what you can now. It may be a while before you can get more.
Even then, stocks are low and some types are not in stock at all.

Re: Russian Vacuum tubes
Where I work we use Electro Harmonics preamp tubes in 4 items of gear that we make, that is until this last production run that we will start where we had to get them from Fender / groovetubes at a cost of 2 bucks more per tube!
If you do find what your looking for then for the end user it will be a good bunch more costly!

Re: Russian Vacuum tubes
I bought most of my tubes like that through ebay sellers. I realize a full time shop can't do that, but it works for me. I don't know how any of those sellers are impacted by the current events.
