I went through the process of getting new tubes in August of 2017 and ended up getting tubes from Bert’s Model A. Other vendors tubes had the valve stem off center and I did not want to use them.

see attached photo of tube with off center valve stem, same tube rotated 180 degrees to show offset. The third photo is the tubes I finally purchased note the on center valve stem.
