@tubetime wow! Impressive cutaway skills! (How?!?).
For whatever reason, I found nuvistors to have a much shorter life than their larger glass counterparts. When repairing Tektronix 560 series plugins, they’re a common source of trouble. I wonder if that’s just because the cathodes are so much smaller that they loose emission sooner?
