*** I once built a linear into an ARC-5 transmitter cabinet. It had
4 6LQ6 tubes. I bought them at Radio Shack, which had a *lifetime
guarantee*
on their tubes. I put that Radio Shack receipt in an envelope and taped it
to the bottom of the linear.
...And I sure did drive the carp out of those tubes :).
