A sniff around ebay and Google seems to indicate that DF60's are now in shortish supply; not quite unobtainium but not far off.

Someone on the forum was talking recently about the wire-ended Nuvistors (originally of Soviet origin) which seem to be easy to get hold of. I wonder if that might be an alternative possibility in this role, but I recall the RCA 6.3V Nuvistors running quite hot.

Possibly a forum member has a box full of DF60 tucked under their bed?
