Are we still discussing power triodes like the 211? If so, I stand by what I've said. The article is wrong. To quote:
"(chalky white all over)... is the only case of a getter flash visually indicating a problem in the tube."
Absolutely untrue, and I have seen the physical, real-world evidence. You know, I only posted this experience thinking it might save someone else some grief. I lost hundreds of dollars on those tubes and felt damn stupid when it was all over. I don't want to argue about it fifteen years later.
