Speaking of "Final" Tubes I rembember from the 50's when I was on a
Submarine for the Radar the ET's they had a board with a spare set of
Finals mounted with the filiments powered.
Seems like the tubes needed a break in because of you put a cold set in
and hit them with the high voltage B+ they would fail.
