Well, if you're into abusing, tubes are for you. Just don't drop one
on a cement floor, be sure to keep the filament voltage within
tolerance and resolder the filament pins of your 3-500Z every now and
then. 

On this group I often see "where can I get such-and-such tube?"  I
rarely ever see "where can I get such-and-such transistor?".

Years ago I remember reading a newspaper article which said that from
then on, all US military equipment would be solid state as much as was
possible. As far as I know, that still holds.
