Dan --- When a 3-500Z's grid fusing resistor blows, either the tube is loosing it's vacuum, the anode cooler spot-welds have broken (allowing loose anode to contact grid), or there has been an intermittent VHF oscillation which produced a surge in grid-I. A purple/blue glow suggests that there's air inside the tube. cheerz

All,

Recently one of grid resisters blew on an SB-220. The result was the tube glowed deep red to purple. Is this a reasonable outcome for a blown grid resistor on an SB-220? If the incident was only a few seconds long was the tube damaged??

Thanks,
Dan
