5kW Mobile tube or solid-state?

[Shockwave]

Had a 3000, now ive got a 6000. Thinking of changing to two 3000s. My daily driver is working on getting a 3 tube 3-500z

I had excellent results with a 6,000 as a base. Although, I've heard from one questionable source that they may not hold up as well in Mobile use as a result of vibrations. I've also seen one that had a migrating grid wire problem. A brief conversation with the car battery and jumper cables across the filament and grid ring, quickly improved the tubes attitude. Have you seen any issues like this in the 6000 tube?

Nahhhh its fine. The biggest issue with the 6000 is the higher plate v required.
The biggest benefit of the dual 3000 box is a simpler filament situation and slightly higher plate dissipation rating.
