However like you Bob, I purchased a tube/valve from the Ukraine, Tube/Valve Capital of the World, (before the war started), waited 4 weeks for its arrival, got it and plugged it in and BLAM  no more tube. What can I say....G'Damn Russian Manufacturers!!

More likely to have been damaged during shipping - I've got valves with 'interestingly' distorted internal structure where the package has been thrown around by the carrier(s).
The big triodes for the BC-610 (250TH, I think) are notoriously fragile in this respect - the glass envelope survives but they arrive with internal shorts.
