"Just curious: I know you say the tube was not in the water, but would
an unenergized glass tube be damaged from being submerged in a flood
for a day or two? "
Since the tube is in a vacuum, nothing inside will be hurt. Perhaps the
big issue is that a big tube like the 3-1000 will try very hard to float
down the river, since it will not like being under water. Sort of like the
Japanese fishing floats that used to wash up on the West Coast beaches. So,
new original stock vacuum tubes in their original boxes are likely to go
away during a flood.
If the tube remains, there could be corrosion of the tube base and plate
cap.
