6SQ7gt sources?
Does anyone know of a good source for the Sylvania 6SQTgt tubes?
With my EAR834 build done, think I'm ready for the EL34/6SQ7 build. I'd like to try and keep the tubes the same as in Skunkie's build (to start with). I'm going to try what tubedepot offers - however they say 'various brands'. I've also gone for the JJ EL34L and JJ 5AR4.
I've managed to find everything across several vendors - listing here if anyone else is looking:
Mouser.com (chokes, resistors, electrolytics, LED)
tubedepot.com (tubes, Solen cap)
parts-express.com (transformer, alps)
edcor (transformers)
soniccraft.com (mundorf caps)
angela.com (Chassis, tube connectors, point-to-point tag strips)
ebay (Speaker and Phono connectors)
amazon (Volume knob)
youdaelectronics (tube base rings)
Edcor looks like the longest lead time - they say Feb/Mar 22 - so maybe a while before I get to finish this.
Just FYI - inflation is starting to hit the parts list for this build too - I'm just over $700 for parts and shipping (using the 273BX).

Edcor gave me a long lead time as well--December when ordering early October. I placed my order on 10/2 and had the OT on 10/16.
I am just about to finish my 6SQ7/EL34 build (the original design with drop in PT and 2 chokes) and used similar sources than you have.
For tubes, check out Etsy. I wanted some spare 6SA7s and EL34s and got them there.
