Replacement Tubes

I'm in need of 6550 replacement tubes. I placed an order for them with the equipment manufacturer nearly three months ago and am still waiting for them.

I realize there's issues with the supply chain. However, I need these and am looking for a possible alternative.

Any recommendations or affirmation of "that's just how it is everywhere out there" would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I bought from Tube Depot before. They were intelligent to talk to and the tubes were shipped quickly.

Upscale has restrictions on tube sales (read the descriptions).

6550's...  How about a slightly more powerful tube as in a KT88 or better yet, a KT90!  It's only money...hah!  :)
