If not for bad luck you might have none at all.
Leaving out tubes that had hissy fits or rushing, I've had about a half dozen fail dead while in service. The last one was a Sovtek 6922 in the cathode follower spot of the phono of my CAT SL1. Had a Mullard branded EZ81 die in my old Counterpoint SA3000. The rest I can recall were RCA/GE/Sylvania 6GE5's in my Acoustat servos. There was three or four of those, but they all happened during the shakeout period after the amps were updated and put into service. Turned out the sockets were toast and causing arcing and a red-plate. Had new sockets installed and the problem disappeared.
Sorry you had such rotten luck with those Froggy RCA's.
