PA is a 12 hour drive one way from where I'm at. I do, however have an amazing custom wooden crate for a 171 head that I could send up to PA "if" the tube "checked out". No leaks, gas intact, operated within the past year... or two. The 270 power supply I have now was socked in a roadcase and well cared for and protected (so I'm feeling pretty good about it's current status). Isn't a 171-01 a krypton head though?
