Probably more than you think. And there’s still a demand for vacuum tube audio amplifiers. I sold one on ebay a few years ago for more than I paid for it 40 years ago.
The last vacuum tube I bought was at Radio Shack and they were offering lifetime guarantees on them. I think they may still honor that, but you have to wait for them to ship it to you. Or you can go to Russia to still buy them.

They don’t make ’em like that any more for a reason.

I’ve still got a few tubes from my radio days.

your microwave oven has a vacuum tube in it. As do your local UHF TV stations
