Scott has had a few Eimac 3x3's rebuilt by Econco...as have other's over the years.
?
Phone / e-mail econco....and ask em what it will cost...... with u providing the dud.? I THINK it's aprx $800.00?
?
A new 3x3? from Penta is $997.00? ? ($1200.00? ?from DXE).? ?
?
IMO, if you can get the Eimac rebuilt for? $1400.00? or less..... I would go that route.?
Econco told me a while back that they could rebuild chinese tubes....and also Russian Svetlana tubes.? ?However, I would not spend $800.00? to rebuild a $997.00 chinese tube.?
I do have 2 x new Svetlana 3x3 tubes...and they are well constructed....and use a spiral mech fil.?
