RE: Tube Life- Power Cycling

Some power tubes will have less than 2000 hours of life when operated at maximum ratings. Life increases dramatically when they're operated more conservatively. And some small signal tubes (which are operated at a small fraction of maximum ratings) can last 100,000 hours or more.
