** Probably the most rugged valves/tubes around are those with
thoriated-tungsten mesh filaments. Examples are the 8170R/4cx5000R,
3cx1000A7, 4cx1500A, the 4cx10,000J, et cetera. However, shipping such
valves in a separate padded box is still a good idea since a valve that's
dislodged from its socket can break a vacuum capacitor.
