[Amps] MACHLETT tubes?

Machlett Labs was located in Springdale, CT and for a time, was a division 
of Raytheon.  They produced some extreme examples of high-power VTs, many of 
which are water and vapor-phase cooled.

Recently, several 'BY' tube manufacturers have been resurrecting old, 
quality names (e.g., Taylor Tubes).  I would  check the origin of those 
Machlett tubes before purchase.
