    It seems unlikely that ALL Chinese 3-500Z's are bad. Surely some are 
good?  So,
here's a thought - how about a tube supplier who selects each tube carefully 
and offers
them for sale?   The price would have to reflect the higher quality of 
course, but it seems 
like it wouldt be well worth it to save some of the agravation, not to 
mention the 
expense of replacing the junk ones.  Or is my premise incorrect, and ALL 
Chinese tubes
are junk?
