Well if it's the "Marshall sound" it should be ECC83s and EL34s, not

All those tubes are way above the random price guides I attempt to
categorize above, and you can easily hit many tens of dollars
or sometimes hundreds of dollars each, with extremely wide variance
on brand and subdetails of construction.

Just as a benchmark, if you're buying random new-old-stock (still new in boxes)
tubes in quantity, do not expect to pay more than a few pennies per tube
(and even then that might be too much!) Random used tubes should be available
for free.
Just for informational purposes: 12AU7s (and 12AX7
and 12AT7) are still
available new. You probably won't like the price, but they're still in
production - us electric guitar players use them,
Along with 6L6 and maybe 5U4 and some other numbers for output tubes, no
doubt. To get that "Marshall sound"... :-)
