Hi Sam. I use a 425 hours a day.  It is very sensitive to grid overdrive, and 
I drive mine from a TS850.  If I change the drive level just a tiny bit I get 
the "red light", but back it off and things are ok.  Actually most of the 
time I use only a few grid mils to the 425 and it puts out full output.  I've 
had very few problems - some blown power supply diodes, and an arced resistor 
near the blower, but in general purs along in fine style.  Sure like it.  My 
ts850 output must sag during a long qso and if I wanted full output would 
have to tweak it up a bit - then if I do that it may light the red light 
after a cool down period.  Dont think it is really a problem however.  73 Bob
