Carl,

I would be very interested in your ideas on what should be added.  My opinion 
was also that it was a bit limited (keeping in mind my absolute beginner status 
in high power amps) and could stand a few additions such as easy provision for 
running lower plate voltage for gettering, some way to test emission, etc.  Also 
still needs some way to hipot the tube but I guess that is best handled with a 
separate hipot test setup.

In any event, I would be most eager to hear your ideas.

Its a mostly waste of time as built. A little more work and it could be 
useful to do emissions tests as well as proper (safe) gettering.
