[R-390] Gettering old tubes

[Barry]

I was searching for tube rejuvinating methods and found a site with some postings from around 2006 where some guys were trying just that.  Some had limited success.  The trick was to leave the oven on for just long enough for the getter to flash.  Results ranged from "the tube was much better" to "it ruined the filament" to "the tube burst".  They had a pretty low success rate, but it was interesting to see it did work for a few tubes.
