I saw no evidence that the tube had ever been replaced. It was a very lazy tube and took a long time to come around when I first began this project. I was concerned that I would need to locate a replacement, but once it woke up...there was just no stopping it. Bob
Bob,

The 21CYP22A, a glass tube, would have the dual high voltage connectors, with a resistor between them, on the bell of the tube.
