[Amps] 3-500Z filament desoldering - sequel

[Peter Chadwick]

I think another factor is the amount (or otherwise!) of cooling air over the filament pins. Other tubes using that filament (5v, 14.1A) have requirements for the amount of cooling air over those pins, and it's not always easy to determine if there is the correct amount of cooling air flowing.
I use a normal 'Boxer' 5 inch fan blowing directly on the filament pins (one for each tube) which is almost certainly over kill, but does seem to avoid the problem.
