Somewhere earlier last year I searched for some tubes in ex-USSR and YO186 did pop up, esp. in Ucraine IIRC, with not unbearable price ~$100/tube, although in unknown condition (I did not buy any).
Yes, I have seen the YO186 pup up here and there but I would not feel that a person who sells a single tube might be a good souse. If I buy it them I would buy from somebody who has a party of NOS tubes – that would be more or less some kind of assurance that the tubes were not used.

I do not think that anybody would be interested in YO186. In my case, in dace of DSET operation and in context of what I am trying to do with tone and balance of loading across the channels I find YO186 to be spectacular. For the most people who would use DHT in full range applications I do not fell that YO186 would be advantageous.

Anyhow, if somebody has a set of 6 or 8 YO186 for &100 then I would not mind to take them. After I find a dozen of the tube that I suppose to have somewhere I will be set for life.
