I suspect that we might need to find a HW 100 or 101 (tube type finals) to use as an 
exciter until we get this issue tracked down.  What do professionals do about 
exciters for problem amps?
How do you test a 3-500Z to see if it is a tube issue?
Are Icom 7300's compatible with AL80Bs?
Does anyone have any thoughts?

  Only that with triodes a plate to control grid arcs are easier than ...
Testing at reduced plate Voltage seems to be in order.
