This guy - http://mhuss.com/sgtoverdrive/

Terry Kilgore aka Tube Tramp or Sgt Overdrive

He knows amp tone and tubes - he used to be guitarist for Dave Lee Roth. He can sell you NOS tubes at some real keen prices, since he finds deals on lesser known brands. He's a real funny off the wall guy, so be prepared for a few laughs when you get his e-mails.

Sorry, didn't want to "hijack" the post. Mearly answering the original question with some examples and where to find them.

... and where to find them.

Those were some real cool examples, but I didn't see the bit about where to find them....

in the uk, watford valves is the place to go

Unfortunately, they're somewhat pricey, especially once you've added the shipping and VAT. When I was in the UK I stopped buying from them, and ended up buying from various eBay sellers, even in places like the US and Australia - and it still worked out cheaper.
