I just reinstalled my original 80 Watt Reci tube. It is almost six years old*. It has about three years of use and three years of storage. It is still working like new. I measured its power at 82 Watts while running at 22 mA.

*Actually it is six years old, it was built in July 2011, I received it in early August.

My 80W RECI is 5 years old and has been used on and off over the years. Some times it runs 12 hours in a day. Still good as new.
