There is also the Great British Valve Project

But there hasn't been much movement on it for a while.

It appears they have stuff in stock and for sale.
https://brimaruk.com/shop/
Not cheap, but not ridiculous.
Curiously they have a 12AX7 for £15 (out of stock) and and ECC83 for £25/$33 . Not sure of the difference, but they are distinct offerings.
A matched pair of 300B are only £196/$257.
EL34 singles, no matched pairs £20/$26.
EL84 matched pair £40/$53.
KT88 matched quad £145/$190, but no pairs?

Today's conversion rate is $1.31. Conversions are rounded to nearest whole dollar.

I put something in my cart to calculate shipping. They are not shipping to USA. I may have to ask someone over there to buy them and send them privately. Now, I need to find someone! Do you think there could be export restrictions?

Why is there no chatter about Brimar valves, apparently made on restored Mullard equipment? (I think someone else, you know who, has rights to the Mullard brand name.)

The ones they're selling as Brimar state "Each tube is scrupulously tested and only the best get badged with the Brimar thermionics logo" so they could be anything.

Hopefully the plan to get the original machines working will happen then maybe I could start a little export business up :D
