The bandswitch used in my SB-220 has a measured breakdown potential of 
>1200v more than the actual piv when the amplifier is in operation.  In order 
to deal with the roughly 10A of RF circulating current, Heath used double 
contacts plus forced air cooling on the switch.

I use Amperex graphite-anode tubes in my SB-220.  One of them was 
manufactured in 1967.
