A friend of mine bought a pair of Triton3-500Zs.  The spotwelds on the 
anode coolers were made with to little current -- just like Eimacs that 
were produced during the last five or so years of production.  

> I appears that the Chinese tubes are the only other option? 

No.  Amperex makes good quality 3-500Z (8008) and 3-400Z (8163) in 
France.  There is no difference in PEP output.  Mu is c. 200.  

cheers, Rick
