The last possibility, so-far unmentioned by anybody, is that he could have
had the settings switch where it would provide a too-high filament voltage,
and that could have blown each nuvistor as he plugged it in. I hope not!
And one would think at least a couple would have lasted long enough for him
to feel it get at least warm, if not downright HOT, in those few seconds of
meltdown....
