[TenTec] TT Centurion

[Duane Calvin]

When I got my 3-500ZG matched pair replacements for my Centurion, they came
with instructions to run the tubes for an hour (or two?) just with the
filaments running before using them.  I did, and they were fine.

GE,
    I have a new matched pair of 3-500Z tubes that I am going to install in
my TT Centurion.  Was wondering if it is necessary to run the tubes
(filaments only) for a while with no HV.  If so for how long?
    One other question.  I am driving the Centurion with an Omni VI, when
operating sometimes the receive does not return & have to key the Omni to
recover the receive.  I see the output relay in the Centurion it has a black
cover over it.  How do you remove the cover so I can clean the relay
contacts.  When operating the Omni barefoot, no problem with the receive.

Thanks,

Doyle/N4VV
