Speaking of class C, I have just completed a nostalgia rig using a push-pull 
pair of VT-127As (somewhat similar to the 100TL, but looks like a spaceman with 
grid and plate pins sticking out the sides).

I've been bench-testing it the last few days with a wimpy power supply.  
Surprisingly, I'm up to 500 wattts out with 1300 volts on the plates.

I have several tubes, and have tried a couple of different pairs.  In both 
instances I've noticed that one tube will have a slightly brighter plate glow 
than the other.

I'd like to have the tubes as closely matched as possible.

My question is:  Which tube is most likely to be the better, the bright one, or 
the cooler one?
