To be honest he was a brave man to tackle the V2000 series VCR. I was far too busy to have anything to do with them as were many other repair guys. They just took too long to repair and customers were not willing to pay the price. I was glad to see the shot of them as almost everyone in the trade was.

A duff tube is a duff tube and I really hope you find a replacement. They were produced in huge numbers and you may find a wreck example with a good 30AX tube. Often the rusted bashed about receivers produce good tubes. Good luck with it. John.
