One source of SU parts you may want to try is SU Midel Pty Limited in Sydney
Australia. Remember Oz $ is now about $0.55 US so prices may be
significantly less than UK where the exchange goes the other way. They have
a catalogue and offer full rebuild service. Contact numbers I have are
4 Frazer Street
Lakemba, NSW
Australia 2195
Phone 011-61-2-9759-5598, fax 9758-1155
I bought a set of ram-tube trumpets from them when visiting a couple of
years ago. Craftmanship is first class.
