Wow.
Yes, I had always heard the stories of that happening, but never saw
one. Mine is almost hard to see, it didn't cave in the surrounding
glass--just a very slight stress crack and a little inverted pimple
where the hole is. Filaments still good. Sweep tubeshate em even
tho they
I witnessed something recently that In nearly 50 years of working with
tube rigs, I had never seen.
I was working on an older hybrid rig with 6JS6's in it. Had a known
good set of finals and was getting unit ready to ship to a new owner.
Powered it on the bench and all was good..did a cold

All looks ok EXCEPT..the one tube that was bright has a small suck-hole thru
the side of it. It got so hot, the glass melted and a hole was sucked thru
the side without breaking the rest of the tube. YIKES

I saw something similar years ago in a sweep that was pulled from one of those
horribly designed 11-Meter amps. The glass had been sucked
