This makes a case that it isn't the rate at which  the filament temperature rises, but in stead the fact that it passes through a particular temperature at all. If it passes through ~900F, then the M

The AL-80 series uses a 3-500Z, which uses a thoriated tungsten filament as a directly heated cathode. It takes less than 10 s to reach full temperature, which is where the 10 s required warm up come
