6080WA ? ! never !

80.14.164.47

Hi ! I'm running an OTL since 8 years now with 6080WA from Radiotechnique . These were given to last 10000 hours on continuous prof and mil service . I've still seen on rec.audio.files that soviet reg tubes like 6AS7 and 6C33 were guaranteed for the FIRST 750 hours . All prof systems had mercury wetted counters so that preventive change could regulary made .
On OTL service, the tests i made on non-soviet ones make me think that with 50 mA / anode, life span can reach 20000 hours ! ENJOY GUYS ! Pierre
