[Amps] 3-500ZG RF Parts tubes

[jeremy-ca]

Ive bought large quantities of Chinese over the years and can tell no 
difference among what is currently available. You pay more for the luxury of 
a private brand with a dubious warranty.

The early Chinese offerings came from many factories and was a crap shoot. 
These days only one or two are involved and quality is controlled. Some do 
not hi-pot as well as a "perfect"  Eimac but are well within ham amp 
ratings. Even Eimac has had its less than stellar batches
