I have tried 3CPX800's in my Henry 2002A and 2004A amps. The tube is
physically taller than the standard tube by about a tenth of an inch. So
the teflon chimney to exhaust port that is part of the tank compartment
cover would not seal without forcing it (which I chose not to do).
For HF applications with plenty of exhaust headroom there probably is no
issue.

Subject: [Amps] 3CPX vs 3CX tubes
Hi, Does anyone know with any certainty the difference between a 3CPX and a
3CX tube? Checking the Eimac data in reference to a 3CPX800A7 vs a
3CX800A7
it shows that a 3CX800A7 and a 3CPX800A7 both can be used in linear
operation. As far as the 3CPX1500A7 vs the 3CX1500A7 it does NOT show
usage of the
3CPX in linear operation, therefore, could the 3CPX1500A7 be substituted
into
an AL-1500 or similar amp without any caveats? Some time ago the question
arouse here and Mr. Measures said it could be substituted with no real
problem. Was wondering if the rest of the knowledgeable concur with him?
What say?
