EV>The first time I saw a Eimac 4-65A tube I was aboard ship and saw   
   EV>one in a trash can where the Electronics Technician had put it after   
   EV>he replaced one in a piece of gear.   
      
   EV>I looked at the Specs. and Feel in Love with the tube.   
   EV>I've never owned one of my own, but I did buy a pair of   
   EV>'pulled from service' 4-125A's at a Hamfest Flea Market years ago,   
   EV>and never completed the project to use them in.   
      
      
   Speaking of "Final" Tubes I rembember from the 50's when I was on a   
   Submarine for the Radar the ET's they had a board with a spare set of   
   Finals mounted with the filiments powered.   
   Seems like the tubes needed a break in because of you put a cold set in   
   and hit them with the high voltage B+ they would fail.
