Apparently, Phil is unable to specify a part. I asked him on the off chance that he could, and on the slimmer chance that he might offer a civil answer, but no dice. Anyway, I want to save the client the cost of a re-design by stuffing in a known replacement, if the tooobs in there are bad, and I was hoping someone had faced the issue before. Your mention of AES is much appreciated. I found 5632's (aka C3J/5632) for ~ $80.00 elswehere, so AES is better. Thanks, Ed

Tim found Antique Electronic Supply that sells them for $60, and you found them for $50. I found them for ~ $80 Obviously, there's pilot trouble with my searching. :-( But it sure is nice to get the assist you & Tim provided. :-) Ed
