Are the tubes used with the Continental V3 replaceable?  Looking to get one, but knowing that tubes do have a lifespan, I was wondering if they are replaceable.  What is the lifespan of the tubes for the V3?  Anyone got some info on that?

Almost all tube amps have replaceable tubes. There is a whole section of head-fiers who "tube-roll" or try out different tubes to find the best ones for their rig. Should last anywhere from 5,000-10,000 hours from what I hear.

It doesn't look like an easy task though...
Ended up ordering the Alo Pan am for this reason, a little less portable though.
