Is "lurve" the same thing as "love"? Anyways, Scot - congrats on the new Classic 30. I have the exact same amp, and I absolutely "lurve" it, too!!
Don't forget to check out the Classic 30 thread in the amp section of the forum - here: http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php?t=922

There's several guys here on the forum that play Classic / Delta amps. Many, including myself, have purchased tubes from a USA company called Eurotubes, with excellent results. Knowing that you're from "across the pond", I'm not sure what it would cost you to get a set shipped over there. I am sure you have some others in mind, including the ones you've already mentioned - Mullard, Electro Harmonix, etc.

If you are interested, however, you can e-mail Bob or Jay at Eurotubes (e-mail address is listed on the website), and they'll give you some prices and recommendations, depending on how you want your amp to sound. As a matter of fact, they have re-tubes kit jmade ust for the Peavey Classic series amps. Top notch outfit all around. Tell 'em the guys from Fret.Net sent ya'. Here's the links:

1.) Main site - http://www.eurotubes.com/index.htm
2.) Peavey re-tube kit: http://www.eurotubes.com/euro-k.htm

In the mean time, get those bottles on that rig glowin'!

Yeah, try that one on for size. My guess is that they're called "Eurotubes" because their tubes are made in Europe.
