[AMPS] Gases liberated in plate

Agreed, Carl.  Yes it does.

However, I still stick to my original question:  Why don't we see more 
damage in 3-500Z's that arced.  Why not melted grids, filaments, etc.  
Why just bent filaments?  Is it because the stock SB-220 linears have the 
current limiting resistors in them?  I didn't think they did.  Wouldn't 
an arc do much more damage than just bend the filaments?
