Somehow, I missed this when you initially posted it. Mea culpa

I emailed VIVA and made note of the non-matched 'matched pairs'....and about the several tubes which showed significant heater/cathode leakage.

I asked if, were I to purchase more, could I reliably depend on the above not happening again in the future?

They never responded.

My advice? Proceed with VIVA at your own extreme risk. I know that I don't intend to do any further business with them.
