[Amps] condition 4-1000A tubes?

[Fuqua, Bill L]

I love the GLOW. And the radiant heat it gives off. Gives you that warm feeling.
Some day I will get back to my amp.

Sure was a well spent dollar.  My 4-1000 beast is my favorite to  operate.

Happy New Year Dennis,

I just plug mine in and let it  rip.  That is one rugged tube.   When I
first build my  4-1000 just for kicks I plugged in a 4-1000 I picked up at
a
HAMFEST  for $1.  It looked real bad and my intent was only to use it for
working out the spacing, etc.  Well the filaments lit up with power,  it
didn't
arc with high voltage (5500 volts) and it put out over  1KW.  It's  been
almost 20 years and the tube is still going  strong.

Can  someone point out a good source of information on how  to properly
condition a  4-1000A tube that has been on shelf for a  very long  time.

Thanks
