Wow!  
I just had to turn off my computer and drain out all 
of the nostalgia.

Seems there could be a problem with the grids in 
the tubes sagging and touching the plate if not 
operated in the proper position,  I do know that
the 866A rectifiers will not work, the mercury will 
puddle on the sides and cause arcs,  they need to 
be operated vertical.   :-)

Good ole days eh?
