In the 20 years that I have had the R-390A the only trouble that I have had
is the 3TF7 Ballast tube and I went through 3 of them. Many years ago I got
the last two 3TF7 tubes in Portland and at the time thought that they would
last for a long time. Well this last fall my last 3TF7 failed so now I use
the paper clip and 12BA6 tubes.
