Yes, the Scott slrm I have has a few of them in the AC line I think, and that receiver starts up nice.
God help me if I had to replace one of them...

That's gotta shorten the life of the tube, big time! In my mind's eye, I could see one of those globars, still in the card, someplace in all my old TV krap that I never threw away. The question is - can I find it? So I headed out to my storage area, rumaged around, found my old tube caddy, and found the globar, still in it's wrapping, just like I saw it in my mind's eye.
