Hi Peter, I believe the drive on the 1500B is lower than the 1000A. Here is a deal for you. I have two never used 4CX1500B Eimac tubes never been in a socket for that matter. I'll sell the for $420.00 each.

I recently acquired a slightly used 8410 (mfg 3/2014). I was surprised to learn 
it had 4CX1500B tubes rather than the 4CX1000A's.

Looking at the RF Concepts website for tubes I notice the price is lower on the 
4CX1000A ($475) than the 4CX1500B ($525).

Can anyone shed light on why Alpha chose to go with the 4CX1500B's?


TNX in advance of your insights!
