Dave, You stirred up a stimulating discussion on the internal workings of the tubes.
I've had a bunch of emails asking questions about the tubes. So I'm going to take lots of PIX of a tube disassembly to show what the "guts" look like. I've also received many ideas on how to refill an empty oven. The PIX should also show just how difficult that would turn out to be! Did you ever happen to acquire any knowledge of the gettering "goo" that they painted on the inside walls of the tube? There also seems to be a carbonized piece of bamboo (at least thats what it looks like) about 1/2 inch square on the end cap where the spent beam impacts. Is it really bamboo? Kind of neat if it was, ultra hi tech meets ultra low tech! I'll post the link to the pictures once I get the time to do the cutting.
