Heck, when I found my crusty MC40 monoblocks they still had most of the original tubes.
CJ should come up with a solution and fix all of these at no charge. A lot of coin for a flawed design.

So Bill... most of us have no issues with the tubes. Not had any issues with the last three or four of their best Premier models. My GAT has been perfect with a number of different sets for many years. Is your advise to them based on owning c-j equipment or are you just trying to give them advise?
