**  Revitilizing thoriated tungsten cathodes seems to work with tubes 
whose emission was reduced by air contaminating the thorium.  In the case 
of a slightly gassy tube, the contamination can be driven off by 
temporarily increasing the filament V.  In a tube with a good vacuum that 
is low on emission, acetylene (H^2C^2) gas can be used to recarburize the 
filament.  In Other Words, send the tube to a commercial rebuilder.
