[Amps] 3-500's tubes

[R.Measures]

I have never ran a new 3-500Z 3-400Z, or 8170 for more than a minute 
before firing it up.  In my experiences, a tube that shows gas on an 
initial high-pot test is not no more likely to getter itself in 
24-hours than an engine that tosses a rod is going to fix itself in 
24-hours.
