The 3C24 must have heat dissipating caps on both anode & grids terminals to keep seal temperatures within spec. <br /><br />Yours appear to be running very hot indeed or is that a quirk of the photography?Nigelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098337119765190876.post-52252242435452149152023-02-21T21:38:56.943+01:002023-02-21T21:38:56.943+01:00Hello, thanks for your interest.

Also, which Monolith opt are you using?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098337119765190876.post-13711781221572306692022-06-12T22:45:27.672+02:002022-06-12T22:45:27.672+02:00When plate voltage is applied, there is substantia...When plate voltage is applied, there is substantial glow from the cathode.
