	My e-mail bounced, so here goes....Richardson Electronics is about
the last decent tube vendor in the US.  Normally I buy from the Illinois
branch (312-232-6400).

	Their catalog has the NL 5870 L at $41.25, along with a few others
at the same price.  Don't ask for the straight 5870, which I suspect is a
transmitting tube at $405.  They have technical assistance available.

	Nixies...how quaint :-) :-) :-)
