Worn Tubes?
Hi all. I have a pair of RCA VT 229's that although I was assured that they measure
strong (gas, mutualconductance etc.), the black plates appear to be somewhat stripped rather than smooth. Also, one of the tubes has a halo appearance in the flash. Would I be playing with fire installing these in my power amp? I fear a potential breakdown under load in a circuit. Thanks in advance. |
