I need a 5U4GB urgent

I've have had trouble with my amp for a few weeks now but have figured out what the problem is!
Its one the Rectifier valves!
Anyone know where I can get this valve by tomorrow?
It's a 5U4GB or I could get away with a 5U4G but may need 2 of them as they may need to match!

I've just been through my stash. I've got half a dozen GZ34's (5AR4's), but not a single 5U4G. Depending on the amp you can sub a GZ34 for a 5U4 but it will give you about 20v to 30v more on the anodes of the power valves. This can be good or bad depending on where they are at now. The amp would definately need a re-bias though.

If you can find anyone with a silver face Fender Deluxe Reverb, Super or Pro. The stock rectifiers are 5U4's.

Good Luck,
Rob.

Can probably get one midweek but was hoping to get sorted for a rehearsal tomorrow night!
The "Amp man" only lives around the corner from me but he hasn't got one either!
