Dude:
You are coming from Taiwan and want to buy diy tubes here in USA?

The days when you could go to a store here and buy components are gone!
Here in LA almost all electronic stores where you could buy parts are all gone and out of business. It is really sad for those of us building stuff, and a royal pain in the butt to buy parts.

Mail order is the name of the game here.
You want to buy diy stuff goto hong kong, {sham shui poo}, apilu street and {mong kok}.

well, having lived in Chicago in grad school, and visiting there almost every month for 3 decades therafter I would suggest that you see three movies that get you in the Chicago mood of being: "Blues Brothers", "Wayne's World" and "The Sting" . They span 3 decades --

I'm going "toooodaaaaloooop"

fwiw -- Motorola's real home town is Chicago, and mass-production of the TV was started there.
