In Reply to: How reliable have your SET or SE tube amps been? posted by RGA on April 13, 2016 at 23:37:05:
Over the past 10-15 yrs, I mainly use military or industry grade parts that I got dirt cheap from ham swap meet, everything is overkilled, size and weight isn't my concern at all. Those parts are going to last if not forever, probably generations. I expect the only thing that need to be replaced are tubes. I run them conservatively, with good ventilation, delayed B+, I expect each set of tubes will last at least 15-20 years.
