Very clear explanation, Ian, thank you very much. I want to ask
something about.
This pre-heating process (in, for example, NOS tubes or those used in
good
condition but long time stored ones) must also be done by making the anode
orange hot in high power tubes (those with "gettered" anodes) or it's just
enough to run them with filament on for many hours?.
