[rescue] I want a vacuum tube

[Robert Darlington]

Oh, look around for 4-400 tubes.  They're big and pretty and a pain in the
butt to work with so they're usually cheap, $20 range and right about the
same size as the 3-500z.  I really like the perforated metal base above the
pins (holes for forced air cooling from below).
