Rather than claim I can look at a tube and magically tell what happened years ago with my magnifying glass, I thought I would add a picture of a 3-500Z under RF plasma conditions. The photos clearly

I had just gotten some odd tubes on ebay (4x-500) which were basically 4x500 tubes with a 4-400 base. I figured that they were bad but thought I'd just try them on my tube tester anyway. I lit up the

Tom, et al., The 3-500Z's in my TL-922 both exhibit a purple "plasma" above the top of the plate inside the glass envelope. The intensity seems to change with plate voltage (CW vs. SSB) setting. Also

That's almost certainly just phosphoresce in the glass. It's not rare to glass do that in HV tubes. 73 Tom _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http:

Bill, I'd say that was gassy, hi hi! I'll bet it would have lit up if plate voltage had been on it. On receiving tubes, and sweep tubes, when they've lost their evacuation generally from a crack in t

Steve, Keep in mind that there's a difference in the gas ionized you see as a purple glow and that of an arc. However, these ions go in the opposite direction of electrons in a tube, and strike the c

What Steve described is virtually always phospherense in the glass, not gas. It isn't the least bit harmful. 73 Tom _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.
