Not cheap. Don't think I've seen them anywhere else.

I haven't got any uv4 tube nor sockets, but my understanding is that the pins are shorter and all the same diameter. Whereas the ux4 which is more common has longer pins and the heater pins are fatter than the grid & anode pins. So I think using a ux4 would be a bad decision. Jakeband and yamamoto are boutique current manufactures of uv4.

That’s what I think, indeed the pins are very short. Found the UV4 teflon socket from Yamamoto from a hifi store in Japan, was about the same price as the bulky one one. Got them from exclusive-audio.jp

Thanks for the tip
