[Amps] Future of higher power transmitting tubes..............

[Randy.Randall at healthall.com]

>From some of the current threads running here it seems that Russian production is all but DOA and China is the last hope of new bottles.  How much longer should we expect new tubes to be available?  Is it time to put a couple (or more) back on the shelf?  How about newer technology like Harris is using on their broadcast transmitters?  I use 3-500Z and 572B's. Glass tubes do not like to sit unused due to gas leaking in.  Whats a ham to do?
