[Hallicrafters] In Rush Current limiters

Hello, 

I have a question that I hope that some of the smart people on this forum can help me with. I was reading about INRUSH current limiters. These sound like the perfect solution to protecting tubes during turn on. They limit the current during turn-on for a couple of seconds with a resistance of 120 ohms and quickly drop to around 2 ohms. 

They are small, look like a cap, and would be hard to tell it is under the chassis. They are available in several models, that can handle the current of tube receivers. I would assume that these inexpensive devices might provide some help to helping the turn-on surge that tube sets have. 

Any help/opinions would be greatly appreciated. 

Best,
