Hello,

I am looking for a 8873 tube for my SB-230. Where can I get it?

===============================================
Conduction-cooled tetrode, popular in amateur radio linear amps (Heathkit 
SB230)--made by Eimac.

Suggest retrofit with different tube, such as SED (C logo) 4CX400A or 
4CX800A. The Eimac 8874 can also be retrofitted (see 8874).

RARE, RARE ... might try Richardson Electronics (LaFox, IL) ..
last price I saw for the 8873 was around $801
