Tubes are for real men. When they fail, they often do so in a rather
spectacular manner. Molten glass splattering about and all that.


And just what tubes were those? Of the about about 1000 failed tubes that i
have seen well over 95% were just filament / heater failures; and not one
broken envelope except for two mechanical shock victims.
