amen, Ian
-  If one suspects a gas arc was responsible for the 'big bang', and one 
finds gas in the tube, it seems likely that there was a gas arc.  
However, if there is no gas in the tube, maybe there was no gas arc at 
the time of the 'big bang' event.  And if the bias zener and the VHF 
suppressor resistor are kaput, perhaps the cause of the 'big bang' was an 
intermittent VHF oscillation.  
cheers
