[Amps] Eimac 3-1000z Tubes

[noll amidzich]

Ted,

I have a BTI LK-2000HD purchased new in August 1970. With 100 watts drive on
20, output is 1800 watts in to a dummy load. Still have the original tube in
the amp. About 20 years ago, purchased a new 3-1000z, but haven't had to
replace the original yet.
