I have always read that on these tubes it is good to get pairs of the same
age, brand, and usage together and you were fine. I understand that they
were/are built to pretty tight tolerance. I keep looking at the new ACOM
1011 that uses only 2 of them. Da*&, I wish it were 4. There is something
sweet about that tube and they will obtainable after all else is gone. At
VHF, I have abused the snot out of them for long periods of time and they
stood up. Nice that I could get free pulls too.

With those tubes they are probably very close.
All this matching nonsense didnt come along until sweep tubes and then
import junk.
Cant forget the 8122 either, RCA's contribution to infamy.
