Further note... Something I had noticed years ago and was reminded of when I recycled these parts.
My set is uses a HV rectifier tube with a glass base and "miniature" style tube pins. The newer set uses an "old-fashioned" loctal(sp?) plastic base tube with thick pins. This seems a step backwards in technology.
What do you think the reason might have been? Arcing between the smaller gaps of the newer-style tube? More contact surface for high voltage on the older-style tube pins?
Just wonderin'...
