I had only one failure. It was a Taylor glob, and I ran heater power for an hour. When I ran AC through it, cathode coating would get blown off in little sparks. Not sure what had happened; by the time an hour was up, the bottom of the envelope was goated in Hg, and the rest of the glass was clear...
cheers,

Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world...but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.
