Charlie,
I might suggest you check out the swap tables at Dayton or other
hamfests. You can pick up tubes, sockets, chimneys and other parts at
pretty good prices. The Yellow Sheets are another good place to find
parts. If you're thinking of buying a lot of what you need new it can
get pretty expensive and I would suggest getting a used amplifier. I
think I saw a "high-power" home built amp advertised in the Yellow
Sheets that just came out for $300.00 by a K?4? An amp of this type
might take some work but it will be a lot cheaper than buying everything
from scratch--even if you just use it for parts and build your own.
Hope this helps,
Joe
