[Heathkit] 3-500C

[Ross Stenberg]

I have used Chinese 3-500's in a Ameritron AL-82 without any problems for
the last four years. They actually worked out better than the Amperex tubes
that they replaced, one of which developed a filament to grid short. I am
sure the failure of the Amperex was a fluke, however you will find that the
reviews of Chinese from suppliers such as RF Parts is overwhelmingly
positive.

Anyone have experience with the Chinese 3-500C's or the Taylor 3-500's in
the SB 220?? Thanks Ron
