KM,
Yes, it turned out that the B4/B5 sockets are not a problem at all. I do not like the original sockets with springy contacts and I like the contemporary sockets that hold the pins with full micro-tubes.
Regarding the YO186’s price - this is difficult. There is no price form them as there is no market for them, they just not available for sale. There are some prices perhaps in Russia but considering that they have just a few of them change hands per years then the prices might be whatever asked. The reason why I got them because I came across a party of 10 tubes. I would not buy 2 or 4 of YO186 as I would never find more if I like then and need them more but I figured out the 10 of them might be a life-long supply. I will not incriminate myself by saying how much I paid for them – it was more then might be considered sane. I just will say that it was comparable to the prices of the period 2A3, but still lover then it would be for a brand new RE-604.
