Will be nice if they can make a REAL 50, and it's not overpriced.

"I haven't seen the tube yet but I expect it to follow the original electrical specs."

Hm. Well, their PX25 is somewhat different than original specs, isn't it? (e.g. UX base vs. B4/B5 base) At least they reportedly got everything else mostly right (According to Gordon R., at least). Too bad it wasn't a globe.

"Do you know if the original had 50 thoriated filament?"

No, oxide only AFAIK. 7.5v @ 1.25A. The good thing is if they can get a 50 to come out right, the filament is also the same for the 10. (new 10s! now that would be cool.)

As always, my highest priority (not that I expect them to do this - they didn't on the 45):

Globe glass. No connection via micas of plate to glass. (e.g. a REAL globe. )

IMHO, interstage is the way to go for the 50, as far as amps go.
