15% over-Voltage cuts the emissive life to under 1%, Carl If a pair of
good tubes brings the output up to what you consider normal, maybe it's
Trashtime? I had no luck with the fil. overvoltage "rejuvenation". A
tube rebuilder told me that it only works if the tube was operated with
too little fil. V for an extended period. In a SB-200 this seems
unlikely.
