My favourite tube. My question is this, how many times can you rebuild
8171s before they are tired and worn. Never having to do this i always
wonder about the value of people like Econco. I have a good supply of
these tubes myself so have never had need to rebuild one. I have a few
that are shot as well mainly using them for door stops.
Secondly i would caution anyone about buying these tubes without some
sort of guarentee or tests for power out put. I bought a surplus
shipment of 16 tubes, at the end i had 4 good ones, still a bargain.
But these surplus tubes are generally run in continous duty broadcast
service and well down on power.
