Re-using a cathode After its been in air

Apparently it IS possible....

But--At all times the cathode is down to air--it MUST be kept above 100 deg C, as its moisture that damages it, not the air itself....
The Heater could be used for this......

I was reading something about Electron Microscope cathodes and the issues they had with them and their longevity/changing/re-using them etc....

Whether its worthwhile/worth the risk, going to the trouble of breaking a tube open to use its gun in a rarer tube by doing this--that would be up to the rebuilder/owner of the tubes....
