How hard is it to find tubes for radios made in the 60's? I'd like to start collecting the vintage stuff, but a lot of what I'm finding so far isn't working and the tubes need to be replaced. Among other things.

Reach out to BOIAudioWorks. They'll either have what you need or be able to recommend where to get it. Tubes are still being made, believe it or not. In fact, the most high-end stereo equipment has tubes in it.

Hi, Also Antique Electronic Supply. They have a huge assortment of old tubes. I recently got a full set for a 1939 Philco battery powered "barn Radio" from them. Quite reasonable in cost as well. It was a fun restoration, too bad I didn't take a before photo - it was pretty sad.
