	Tube audio oscillators have no unique virtue that I can see, unless
it's that the are old and hence inexpensive.  As for the ESI bridge, I
think I saw one at C&H Surplus' Pasadena store a few weeks ago.  Look up
"C&H Sales" on Google and go to their "online store" or whatever they
call it.  Since I already have one I didn't look at the price, which
with those guys may be anything from good to very high.  They are always
subject to bargaining if you show up in person, but that probably
wouldn't be very convenient for you.
