Hi Andy, yes the BL63 has certainly gone up, Colomor are selling them at £50, I think the BL63 was only used in the R1155 as far as I know.
The audio brigade have cottoned on to them maybe, they seem to love these older type triodes, the 6F8 being an example.
£50 is too much for me as it stands, the original one in mine has it's envelope detached from it's base, not a problem in itself. I have no way of checking the functionality of the DF section at the moment, I remember checking the relevant valve voltages some while ago and seem to remember nothing untoward, I will check it out fully at some time
