Typo, forgot the s. The Titan model 425 has two 3CX800A7s.

I just use em and abuse em, hi. Don't ask me all those technical question.
I do know if you're in the heat of battle and you grab for the tuning
knob it's easy to grab that bandswitch knob on the 922, they're both
the same size and not far apart plus the bandswitch in a 922 is not
the type you need a pipewrench to turn if you know what I mean.
I think that mistake has been made more than once but nobody wants to admit it.

The 76CA used 3 ea 3CX400A7s, (8874), a good tube.
I know a ham who had a Alpha 78 for 20 years and never changed out
the tubes. Lightning finally dun it in.
