I just did a stack from spintown . 100 lg 7inch black cost under 300 with shipping and showed up fast . Also work in Wurlitzer 3300 same mech as 2100

I rebuilt one of these . I remember, it sucked even when it was recapped with good tubes. But if you are rebuilding for nostalgia sake, I would replace the selenium rectifier with a 1000v at 50 amp diode bridge rectifier. Its over kill , i use them in jukebox amps and work well.
