Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Belton are the best 'new stuff' I have run across {EBY Mil spec for radar were the best ever made...

In addition to handling heat well, mica loaded phenolic also reduces the amount of vibration transferred to the tube. IMO, that's something to think about when considering ceramic in tube sockets.

Black phenolic, AKA Bakelite, uses carbon black (soot) as the loading agent. Is mica a better loading agent than soot? I find that to be the case.
