Sorry Hal, but your reply was totally incomprehensible. You went off about fractals, space blankets, waterbeds and electric bills without answering my question regarding density of "stuff",

Re: Tube rebuilder
Yes, the 3K Ultra uses a transmission line transformer to convert the ~70 impedence at the cathode to 50 ohms... No tuned circuitry... It has worked for ~8 years without problems, though the input swr

It was done because the TR-4/3 went mobile and the filaments ran off the battery.

Actually, copper weighs a little more than steel. Copper: 0.295 pounds In^3 Aluminum: 0.098 pounds In^3 Steel: 0.283 pounds In^3 Copper also has the lowest yield strength of all three with steel being

Re: Tube heater current
Guillermo, Those tubes are rebrands so it's untelling who actually made them. If it was GE years ago, look to see if there is a series of little dots etched into the glass where the tube number is at.
