That sucks. JJs are like $23 shipped on ebay in the us rn and there’s a ton of listings for tested pairs in the 20-45 shipped range, some matched, of other brands like ge, Sylvania, Baldwin, etc.
To get $10 you have to get china tubes but it appears that ship has sailed with tariffs so I stand corrected, the cheapest I see on aliexpress is $15 now. Better off with NOS anyway tbh
I suppose the trade off is that you don’t have to live in America
