Yes there are new tubes available but they are a mixed bag when it comes to quality, lifespan and tone. I bought some new old stock tubes (nos) 50's and 60's stuff about fifteen years ago and wish i would have bought more. They are harder to find now and much more expensive. If you have a small project or something to restore they are worth it though.
I'll second that. You did just fine!
Thank you.
