Rectifier Flashing....

203.167.1.205

Hi,

I just substituted a 5V4G for the original 5U4G that was orinally designed for a Sun Audio amp. At the first initial turn on, there was momentary flashing. But it only happened ONCE when I used the 5V4G for the first time. It did not exhibit any flashing since then... What could've caused the flash? I also replaced a JAN Philips 6X4 with a Mullard in a preamp. The Mullard has strong initial flashing like a flashlight bulb, but unlike the 5V4G, it always does flash at every turn on....
