   Tubes may age at different rates, so the characteristics might be   
   quite different after a long time. It might not make sense to replace   
   a single (failed) tube and you may have to replace the whole set of   
   tubes with new tubes preferably from the same manufacturing batch.   
   This can be quite expensive :-)
