- Are you sure it's gas, Jon? I seem to remember that some tubes produce a blue flouresence on the inside of the envelope when bombarded by wayward ions. Many mistakenly assume the tube is gassy when t

- If it looks like it's on the inside of the envelope, it's ion bombardment. If it's inside the anode structure, then it's gas. In my early days, I replaced many tubes I thought were gassy! Good for RC

- That's pretty much it, Roger. However, "ion" means an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons, I doubt that ions are involved. In this case, it appears that the flourescing material's ato

- So then if all of the tube isn't evacuated, none of it is evacuated. But you said that one blue glow is from electron beams striking the envelope. The other is in the "evacuated space." How do I kno

- no. The glow is from within the glass. Seeing inside the anode is difficult. The glow I see is typically in the space between the lower outside of the anode and the grid or screen collet. semi-yes.
