So I have "bad tube" noise I'm hearing with my Combo. Plan to put known good power tubes in it, but I suspect the 5879. Are these pretty consistent or do I need to go with a known tube supplier? I do know that RCA is the only maker of this tube, ever BTW. Is there a "go to" seller?

I would recommend emailing Dr Z. From the site.
Where can I get new tubes for my Dr. Z Amp?
We have a list of recommended tubes listed for each of our amplifiers here. It is highly recommended to use the suggested tubes types and brands for optimal performance and reliability. If you have any questions on tube availability or substitutions, direct them to repairs@drzamps.com. ASK BEFORE YOU BUY OR TRY! WE ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TUBE STORE OR ANY OTHER ONLINE TUBE RETAILER. THIS INCLUDES ANY RETAILER SELLING PREPACKAGED “DR. Z BUNDLES” OR ANY LISTINGS REFERRING TO DR. Z OR ANY OF THE AMP MODELS.

I just bought 10 and they are excellent. Z |
