Antique Electronic Supply has 6KG6A/EL509's. Looks like $33.25/ea for NOS, or $38/ea for new JJ tubes.

You may have to go for new production then, or take your chances on Ebay. It seems the hi-fi crowd discovered these some time ago, and they've mostly disappeared. Even the obscure sources I know about don't seem to have them.
