[Boatanchors] [EICO] One Tuff 6146

[w4foa at comcast.net]

The 720's are truly the "built like a battleship" rigs.  I have 2 Eico 720's and one 723...all still have the original tubes, despite some dumb things the present owner has done to them!!!  They are among my favorites of the boatanchor rigs.. 
73 and wishing each and everyone a Blessed New Year !

I am replacing some pilot lamps and dusting out my Eico 720. Took out the 
final tube and noticed it has a fairly deep dimple which is surrounded with 
a black spot. The sunk in spot is probably a fat 1/16" deep. The depression 
area is just under the size of a dime...gradually rolls off into the deep spot. 
The tube is a Sylvania 6146/8298A. I'm sure I didn't run it that hard, but 
previously, it musta had a hard life. Final loading and output still where it 
should be. It's going back in....
