Re: Another (possibly silly) valve question
I've experienced cathode poisoning with transmitters, in the 100W plus range - little used transmitters need new valves evry 4 months, busy ones, the PA valves last 12 to 18 months!
It can also cause problems in small signal amplifiers, Tektronix had a problem with Y amplifiers in some 500 series oscilloscopes - a different valve was developed to overcome the problem.
