Amperex power tubes are made by Covimag in France.
http://www.covimag.fr/products.html
As far as I know covimag the only one still making 3-1000Z,H, 4PR1000A and
4-1000A tubes.
Triton was not very successful at making these tubes. All that I had seen
from them were
gassy. The Amperex ones are great and have graphite anodes with very
internal strong plate
supporting hardware.
