While it's always EASY to find fault with anything, it's harder to say nice
things - still, my recent experience with AES was less than stellar.  A
friend ordered several tubes from them, re. his National NC-183D that I was
redoing.  The tubes were listed as "Used, tested good", but out of the 7 he
ordered, 6 were BAD or maraginal.  I think that's just plain sloppy, or
perhaps somebody using a filament continuity tester only.  One of the tubes
had an open plate connection (never seen that before in a 6J5), which would
have been OBVIOUS with a decent tester.  Oh well... et tu Brute'?
