Mouser, Newark, Allied, Parts Express, Digikey for generic electronic components.

For tube amp specific stuff -
David Allen
Ampwares
Angela
Allparts
Darren Riley
Hoffman
Mojo
Marsh
Tubesandmore (AES)
Vibroworld
(Ted)Weber

My current fav is Tube Depot in Memphis because they're close to me and get stuff to me quick, usually the next day.

There's plenty of others.

I don't remember seeing 18V, there's 16V but just use 25V or even 50V.

I've used Mojo, Watts Tube Audio, and Hoffman with great success.

I tend to use Hoffman for anything I can, no specific reason, but I've had great luck with his shipping and selection.

LOL! I get the same treatment in Baltimore. I think the people at Tube Depot must have a very good handle on the technology that makes delivery happen. Also, they are a guitar amp oriented operation.

Does TubeDepot stuff come FedEx? Since they are based in the same town, that might help!!!!

I just got an order yesterday. It came FedEx. I ordered it on Monday and here on Tuesday. Very nice. Also, I'm not sure, but for the size box the shipping charge was only $4.95. Seemed much less than other FedEx shipments I get. I've been really happy with TubeDepot. I also use Antique Electronic Supply, Mojo and Mouser.

BTW, I live in PA, USA.

I have had the best, most consistent service from Tube Depot also, but their prices can be a little higher.

Yes, FedEx unless you specify something else.
He told me on the phone that US Mail might also be able to get there next day but no guarantees.
