I needed a set a while back and I got them off ebay,
My notes on the spare bulbs are simply a couple numbers,
Bulbs 291
or
1490
Here

Without the proper bulbs the 1j6 won't be happy and your sound quality won't be right.
And don't forget to pull that 110/6v switch box up off the chassis and change out the paper caps stuffed under there,

No charge for the lamps i needed a tube socket awhile ago a great ARF member
