Can anyone comment on the long tube of glass sticking out of the
bottom of those 833s?  Looks like a big PITA to hande, since that
would obviously be a very good point to break the glass.

Also, $150 is too much money, even for a new 833.  You can get a penta
833A for 90 bucks, or an 833C penta for 95 last i recall (search for
penta tubes).  Or, even RF parts has pretty similar prices, both under
$100 for each type of tube (taylor tubes).  I dont know if the amperex
brand is really worth the extra money for any reason, particularly for
a hobby where the tube will likely never be run for its entire
lifetime spec.
