BAT VK-60 tubes

I have an older VK-60,"C" boards, with original working output tubes. Any ideas on where to get new 6C33 tubes?
A couple years ago, BAT said go to dealer. Dealer only had used tubes. Upscale Audio sent me 2 tubes, both defective, although they had supposedly been tested. Any ideas on retubing?

Scifi, Thanks for the tip. Just spent an hour at vintage tubes. Seems to be a good way to go. Have you bought any tubes there? Steve

Has anyone here tried using Mullard ECC-34's as a pre-driver tube in the BAT VK-60? Chris Kipp at the Audio Gallery in Sacremento told me that this was THE tube to use.

I bought all new tubes from Upscale Audio. Everything worked fine for me, except the sound. It's awesome. Best $300 bucks I've spent...
