OK, I wasn't sure, I've only seen that happen in real life to some old 7027-A tubes in an old Stromberg-Carlson Stereo Amplifier from the late 1950s, and more recently my 22" Zenith TV's picture tube, and I never realized that was a sign of a gassy tube, especially on the old 7027-A tubes that I had in an old Stromberg-Carlson Stereo Amplifier I used to have years ago.
