The biggest problem that I see with the Svetlana 4CX1600 tube is that
Svetlana is the only company that makes it. If Svetlana goes out of
business or stops manufacturing this tube, you are kinda hosed.
Of course, with many of the other manufacturers getting out of the high
power tube business ( ie Eimac no longer makes the 3-500Z ) the above may
become a way of life.......
