[Elecraft] Just Wonderin'...

[rrkrr]

Eimac is a division of CPII (Communications and Power Industries, 
Inc.).  Richardson Electronics is one of the primary distributors of new 
Eimac products.  These tubes can last a lifetime in Amateur service if 
treated with respect.  I don't know about this particular tube, but 
there is a considerable market in used power tetrodes on the web.  You 
can sometimes get a kW level power tetrode with half its service life 
left for a couple of hundred $.
