Re: How to manage Filament Voltage on a 3000/6000/10,000A7 triode or tetrode
Current flowing has nothing to do with the rate at which electrons are being boiled off of the tungsten dicarbide (W^2C) layer on the filament.

Re: How to manage Filament Voltage on a 3000/6000/10,000A7 triode or tetrode
To me that is hard to believe. I never recognized any emission current higher then a few microamps without voltages on other electrodes of a tube. Without anode voltage there will be only a cloud of

So how can a 3-500 be gettered by running the filament only?

My take on gettering / gas contamination, or the lack thereof, is that it mainly came from a station who was trying to explain big-bang arcing in the output sections of HF/MF amplifiers by a means

That's an excellent idea Bill. I will have to try that the next time I test GS-35B's. Don't know if I will be able to see much with the ceramic but I would bet it would be easy to see with glass
