Yah, it looks like some of those pits are pretty deep and PL-172s are 
notorious for going gassy while the 8295As have a good reputation. Maybe 
that's why a good tested 8295 runs twice the price of a good tested PL-172.
The PL-172s have a designator of PL-172/8295A, but the true 8295A is 
metal ceramic while the 172 is metal with glass seals.  Neither one goes 
for much (on average) untested.  OTOH I sometimes see some untested "as 
is" tubes go for far more than I'd pay.
