Never had any problems. Usually on an RCA or one of the clones.

Well, I sort of opt for originality when possible, so I called that supplier that Zenith6S321 posted a link for and have a couple of those and one or two other radio tubes I needed on the way. I inquired about what brands were available and was blown away as the guy named almost anything one would desire or not (International Serivicemaster). They actually had Zenith and put me down as preferring that. As a second option I told them Sylvania. I don't think I can go wrong with either of those.
