Not all that unusual. Shouldn't be to hard for vendor to replace the single tube,matching characteristics of others. Resistor is most probably only damage, almost a fuse in arc amps. Have had similar occurrances with arc amps & non-arc tubes...1st time is the most "stressing"
How to handle infant mortality of Svet 6550C?
Purchased from Vintage Electron,one tube died,out of an octet purchased for my ARC VS110.Tubes were used by me for a total of 4 hours,bias checked metculously after every hour after warmup with no signal.
The dead tube took a resistor with it(hopefully not more-remains to be seen).
My question is:What kind of refund/compensation is in order here:Can I return all 8 tubes?Who is responsible,etc.?
Thanks,Raanan
