Modern rectifier tubes give me the most headaches, not so much in failing but they tend to rattle!

I can't recommend any tubes but buying tweeds for $150, wow. I guess 40 years ago that equates to $579 in 2018 dollars. Do you still have the tweeds?

I have just one. The other two were sold when I was first married and going to school. Along with the tweeds I let a ‘62 ES 335 with PAFs and a ‘59 Les Paul TV Special go.
Oh the misery and pain...

Give the Tube Depot guys a call. Huge selection, knowledgable folks, and the best tee shirts around!
https://www.tubedepot.com/?gclid=Cj0...MaAjMMEALw_wcB If your tech is going through your older amps I'm sure he's re-capping, adding a proper ground, and adjusting bias for your amps.

He was surprised the caps were still fine the last time he opened it up. He installed the grounding plug as well. As far as bias, I will ask.
Thanks for the info, Matt

It is easy to replace a rectifier tube with a couple of diodes.
Way back in the 70's I have done many. There was once a plug in replacement for the rectifier tube.

Still is. Weber makes the Copper Cap rectifier, which is basically a set of diodes and a dropping resistor to emulate tube rectifier sag.
