I have a large glass bodied vacuum relay that developed a crack by one of
the pins. The internal plating corroded and breakdown dropped to 6kV. I've
sealed the crack with a varnish similar to glyptol. There's what appears to
be a getter in there - will it have enough capacity to 'repair' the vacuum?.
Does it need activating somehow?

Thanks,

Steve
