**  My advise is:  Send the tube to two rebuilding services.   I have had 
the experience of having a good tube declared a dud so that the 
rebuilding service could make money either by recarburizing a tube that 
didn't need it or by buying the "dud" from the customer at c. 1/6 of the 
price it's worth.  I know of one case where a tube was tested and 
declared a "dud" by the same rebuilder, but some months later it was 
submitted for testing and was it was declared to have normal emission.
