The D & A Maverick runs 8 tubes, 4-6jr6's driving 4-6JE6/6LQ6's. With new tubes your looking at over 200 bucks.

The best way to retube a maverick it to replace the finals with 31LQ6's and wire the filaments in series to the line voltage. 31+31+31+31=124 close enough. Look around and you should be able to find the 31's for $10 to $15 new.
For the drivers use either 17JG6's or 22JG6's. The two transformers have both a 6 volt winding and a 5 volt winding if you dig under the bell cover. 6+6+5=17 6+6+5+5=22 Add them up and hook them up.

Unless they've been changed, thats what came in them. You can use 6JR6 or 6JG6 for the drivers. I see them on ebay for about 10 bucks, and the 6LQ6's for around 20 bucks each.
Rewiring and changing the tubes like Monk suggested is a good way to go, those tubes are a lot cheaper. You can get new 31LQ6's for about 12 bucks.
