[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 735824, member: 144"] Mercifully, if I am correct, the CV1947 is a glass valve, so one can examine in fair detail with a magnifying glass and strong light (LEDs these days). You will sometimes find me engrossed in similar activities. In the previous days of Mr Valve (the late Wim Bouwman) I went begging for valves which were permanently 'gone' and chopped them up. I have a fair selection here, perhaps I should mount them on a wooden base as an exhibition item! (One also finds molten-down and warped grid wires and stems as a result of some malady.) Seeing the really small distances sometimes between electrodes and dimensions of, one has to marvel at people sitting in production rows, keeping up work standards hour after hour. [/QUOTE]
