[Amps] 3CX1500A7/8877 vs el cheapo GS-35B

[Paul Christensen]

Or, consider re-buildable directly-heated cathode types that may, or already 
have, gone out of production, but where sufficient usage across industries 
will keep rebuilders like Econco and Zonum in business -- although I believe 
Econco is now a CPI-owned company.
