This thread is why I feel inadequate for never having taken engineering courses...
I like the "soft start" idea on the filament string; especially since 7JP4s are now so scarce (with good emission), and I've seen plenty of them with open filaments, which this should prevent from happening.
And aesthetically, it is the best I've seen! I think it's a MUST for any VT-7x which will be more than just a display piece, and a MUST for anyone who is repairing sets for other collectors, and doesn't want to explain to an annoyed customer or friend, why a 7JP4 was "good" before, and now isn't...
