[Amps] alpha 78

[Brass Pounder]

After thorough inspection and cleaning, turn it on and let it stay for 
several (4-6) hours. Let the filament warm the tubes up. Then apply the HV 
and let it stay for about 6-8 hours (do not apply any drive!) - this 
procedure will burn the molecules of oxigen, which might have accumulated 
over 10 years.

73!
