Hi Chris,
No worries, I've posted tons of links lately and I've even lost track of which ones I was actually considering. I finally pulled the trigger on a GU-81M that looks (as reliable as the "looks" may or may not be) to be in excellent condition. The seller also has 100% positive feedback with over 2200 ratings, so I'm quite comfortable that they are trustworthy. Here's the link:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/123271668702
The asking price was $15.20 with $18.00 shipping. I offered $12 (bringing the total with shipping to $30) and they accepted it. Definitely a low price, and even if they had rejected the offer I probably still would have bought it. It seemed to be worth the gamble.
I'm sure I'll be posting back here as the project progresses, with updates and more requests for help from the experts.
Cheers,
Matt, Fairlee VT

Hi Matt again,
Not sure what happened before when I clicked on your Russian tube link, but
I had one come up that was used "hard".
The one that comes up for me now looks pretty decent and the price is worth
taking a chance in my opinion. You will have to decide in the end
though...as you are finding out there are so many different tubes...
Sorry for the mistake I made... still not sure what happened for me on link
initially...
