I bought a Chinese valve amp (Yaoin 300B job), on Ebay. Like this one:

Why do you say 'That'll teach me'??

Like you could have bought a Border Patrol 300B amp (say) for anything
upwards of 4K:

....but chose the Chinaman for what - less than 400 quid instead? (You
get what you pay for in this life!! :-)

Anyway, I see you've had a couple of kind offers of help already -
expect to pay for some parts, needless to say...
