Are you familiar with Tetrode tuning?  At what level of screen current 
do you start getting secondary emission?

I've not heard of any problems with GE constructed 4CX1000A's. GE has 
built a lot of high powered tubes in the past and particularly for the 
military.
I'd not be concerned about a GE tube, unless some one comes up with 
information on a problem with those tubes.
