Default Alternative/Equivalent EF89 Valves

Hi All,
I am finding it increasingly difficult to find fairly priced EF89's Can anyone recommend a suitable equivalent? Thanks in advance,

Paul

Dont seem too bad to get, several NOS on ebay for £5
6DA6 and CV5156 said to be equivalents but they seem harder to get than EF89s I thought.

New-in-box ones are £15 + P&P from Langrex (yitry on eBay).

The Mazda 6F18 is very nearly the same as an EF89.
