Replacement for 12AU6 Tube?

[dustyoldamp]

I have a Silvertone 1470 that sports a 12AU6 preamp tube and was wondering if anyone is aware of a replacement tube that will work in it's place?

Its not a popular tube. You can get them on eBay for nothing:

thanks for the help everyone, that gives me 5 tube replacement options to explore to try and change the voicing of the amp. am still in studying mode at the moment rather than figuring out what to buy just yet.
