I nearly fell off my swivel chair at my PC when I saw the price !!!!
I take it the "friend " is a stockbroker working in the City with a mansion in the leafy parts of Surrey which I passed through on my way to work at
HA - Kingston-on-Thames ?
As you are based in the UK try Billington Valves they list one for sale-----POA !-
Billington Export: UK supplier of electronic tubes and valves

Whew! $2500 for a used tube!!
Here is a new (old stock) $1 TV Horizontal Sweep tube using the "new" series Schade (UnSet, CED) circuit technology. Low B+ and high current ( so a cheap OT and power supply can be used). (50 mA/div Vert., 50V/div Horiz.) 250 Watts out should be possible using two of the larger TV "Sweeps" ($ 20 each)
Would be cheaper to build a new Amp.

I have heard Western Electric Original WE212E tubes.
Very large 5.7k / 10k switchable primary, Single Ended, with 1250V B+.
Great Sounds on a pair of Spica 50 speakers.
And . . . you should see the way the room was lighted up by those 2 Filaments!
Considering the performance and the looks, you can understand why almost-unobtanium WE212E tubes are so expensive.
But still less expensive than some Boutique amplifiers out there.
You pay for what you get.

This is my pension plan. Eventually someone will need the last PCF86, and I’ll be ready to talk telephone numbers ...
