If you want tubes made in the US, try the scientific supply companies like
Fisher, Welch or whichever are still in business.  Those tubes will be
cheaper but won't be nearly as nice as the German ones.  The first eBay link
below is for a German seller who frequently has newly-made German tubes on
eBay, he will also sell directly outside eBay (no language problem).  The
second link below is a UK seller who currently has newly-made German tubes
on eBay.  The overseas shipping cost alone from either dealer will be close
to what a domestic tube would cost.  Occasionally you'll see US eBay sellers
offering domestic and/or European tubes.  Happy Hunting!
