Ed,
It's almost a moot point in that if you simply order one or two pairs now,
they'll stand a good chance of outlasting you if you treat them right. I
know a guy running the same pair of 3-500s since the 1970s. And the 3-500
has a grid that's so robust you almost have to do something deliberate to
damage one of those tubes. For these reasons I won't run any other tube; my
next amp will either be an AL82 or AL80B or a solid state amp.

Hello All,
I would appreciate hearing any thoughts on the future availability of the 3-500
tube.
Thanks and 73,
Ed, W6GJI>>>
