How long do NOS 6L6gc power tubes last in a Mcintosh MC240 amp?


I just ordered a quad of NOS tubes for the MC240, how long should they last?  I listen for 1-2 hours a day, low-medium volume...

>> greatest improvement you can make is to add a film cap to the 100uf electrolytic cap in the feedback circuit.

Just finished restoring my MC240 and noticed the above comment from 2020. Can you give a couple more details?

-- What value of film cap, and how wired?

-- What's the goal here?

Thanks!
