An Eimac 3-400 is c. 0.62" shorter than a 3-500 - and it has a 
shorter fins on its anode cooler. However peak emission is the same, as 
is PEP output, for both bottles.

Due to lack of personal experience over the years with these tubes
I don't know the answer, do you?  
 - Is there a reliable way to ID an EIMAC 3-400 vs. a 3-500 beyond
reading the silkscreened info? Assume it is rubbed off completely.  
 - Q2. is there *any* reason in a standard ham two hole linear 
amplifier to *not run a 3-400 with a 3-500? 
 
 TIA,
