RE: NOS vs New Tubes

Higher quality metals and alloys, glass, vacuum, phenolics, etc. Higher quality construction (welds, wire and glass quality, accuracy of construction, etc.). Higher QC criteria. Tighter, sustainable tolerances. Just plain higher standards overall resulting in higher quality.

It all adds up. NOS or new production? I'll stick with the former in EVERY instance.
