[Milsurplus] Re: LV Tube operation

[Falls, Jim]

I did an accidental "test" of this phenomenon w/my TCS-8 last month. Bumped the filament voltage switch on the home brew PSU I use down to 6 from 12V. Thing was dead as a post. I was using it w/an ARC-5 R-23 Q5'er. Thought I had a blown IF transformer due to excess operator headspace (Thanks, Bob....HA!). Could hear band switch clicks and nothing else. Spent a week checking components under the chassis to no avail. Threw the switch and it sprang to life. Murphy was kind.
