I checked the heater voltage from the 8080A. It was probably 6.7 volts for the previous test. I adjusted it to 6.3 volts and ran it for 90 minutes. This time it took about 2 minutes to peak at barely over 0.2 mA, then slowly decreased to 0.15 mA where it stayed for the entire test period--then dropped to less than 0.05 mA in a few seconds.
Entirely hopeless? Even if it's hopeless I'm going to play with the restorer just to see if the meter and indicator lights work.
