[Amps] Source for YC-156 tubes

[k7rdx]

I have purchased several YC-156A pulls from this vendor and nearly every one 
tested very good. They will exchange if you get a bad tube,however I suggest 
if building from scratch to have your tubes tested..Will save hours of 
frustration when you finially light off the new amp..Remember: Most of the 
pulls offered have been stored for several months (Or years) so de-gassing 
is a good idea before use. I test my tubes filament for rated current 
pull,hi-pot for twice rated dc voltage,and run in a cooled jig with filament 
voltage for at least 8 hrs and then hi-pot again before testing with hv in 
my amp.It`s a lot of extra work but saves other component failure in the 
event of a flash-over..Zonum Industries will do this procedure for around 
100 bucks plus shipping. GL,Jim..K7RDX..
