[Amps] Glass Vs. Ceramic?

[Gary Smith]

Mornin' Dave.

Much more modern tube design is one good reason.  Another is they are easier 
to locate when the last vestiges of RF have been wrung out of them.

My AL-800H has two metal/ceramic jugs in it, the 3cx800a7 is known to be 
able take a beating as long as its not too much of one and still go on.

My amp is at leas 8 yrs old, but is used, believe it has the original 
ENIAC's in it. Still puts out *legal* with (really) a sneeze.

73's,
