Rather than trying to fix cracks in other tubes, I'm digging into what causes them and what can be done to prevent them from forming.I've experimented on with dozen or so of my VT-231s by smacking them against the garage wall. Cracks have formed, but my instruments have failed to measure the forces and their orientation to the bi-polar axis. I could use a new set of 6AX4GTs in my tyanattic modulating platform but they're tough to come by.
I cracked a few red base RCA 5692s....they bled.
I think I'll try this 866A next. It looks like it's no good anyway. The getter is really blotchy, and it has coagulated into little blobs on the envelope.
