Surplus Parts for Amps

I'm just getting into guitar amplifiers, and I'm having a hard time finding parts — tubes, transformers, and high-voltage capacitors that are affordable. What are the best surplus sources, short of taking apart old amps?

All Electronics has most parts for tube amplifiers. [email protected] has some good information on building tube guitar amplifiers and finding parts.

Antique Radio Supply at www.tubesandmore.com is a good source for tube-era components. Right here in the pages of N&V, Canadians David and Babylyn Cantelon advertise tubes, capacitors and resistors for tube-era electronics and are at www.justradios.com.
