Several manufacturing issues. Pre mid 1967 the screen was not supported and 
when running current would lean into the anode.
Other problems were incomplete gettering and a short try at pink ceramic 
which RCA used OK with even larger tubes. I doubt they told anyone at 
National the full story but it gave the amp a very bad reputation.
Burle took over around the late mid to 80's when RCA went belly up.

Just out of curiosity, what is the issue with RCA 8122's in the 60's other 
than age?  Were there manufacturing issues???

Thanks,
Randy

Burle and Eimac preferred, NOS in sealed boxes or guaranteed good, full 
output used OK with no screen current drift.

RCA's must have stable screen current, NOS or used, no 60's date codes.

To be used in a fully rebuilt NCL-2000.
