As were several year's worth of KT34XA's apparently. It's NOT like only
two or three were bad, and the testers had one of a handful of
defectives. They had one of hundreds that were bad. You might have
better luck with a certain Firestone tire.
For several years the 15 meter caps have the wrong diameter tubing on
one end. So in reality there are two kinds of KT34XA's: original OK
variety, and more recent 15 meter messed up variety. The later variety
will wind up being converted with M2's upcoming kit to get them right.
