I got some JJ tesla el-84s from tubestore.com
It's the only time I've re-tubed and not gotten at least 1 bad one so I'm very happy with tubestore.
They have a test and evaluation page for each type of tube and if you tell them what amp it's for, they'll send the appropriate rating. Since I use a Mesa which is fixed-bias, this is an important factor.
They were pretty reasonably priced but I don't remember the exact price.
