Re: Has anyone ever worn out a Telefunken ECC83/12AX7?

Teles are the tubes for longevity. I pulled an early-60's Tektronix 531 scope apart, with loads of 6dj8s, 12aus, and 12axs. All the original 12au's (other than a pair of Teles) had been replaced with orange-globe Amperexes, and were all past their best. The two Teles were obviously originals, and still pegged the top of the meter.
