Man, I'd like to get hold of a couple of strong 25VCXP22s, or 25VBEP22s, I think only the mounting hardware is different. Two of my best sets use them.

Probably the same sound I heard when I fired up my Heathkit GR-2000 with the 2nd anode cap accidentally left off. It was deteriorating and wouldn't hold well anyway so I replaced it with a screw-set cap from an old RCA.
