[Heath] Gettering 572B's for a Heathkit SB-200

[Robert Groh]

George, there are ton's of hits on the subject if you do a Google web search for '572B tubes gettering'.  Basically I think you arrange to turn the filaments on and then run the tubes for couple of days - no drive, just idle current.  At any rate, I suggest you plow though the bunch of links found from your web search.
73 and happy QROBob Groh, WA2CKY

  Gettering 572B's for a Heathkit SB-200Hello Group,I have a few 572B’s that having been unused for unknown lengths of time, probably several years. It is possible to getter this tubes be for putting them into service in order to avoid arcing or flash over? Are there any other measures that can be taken with the 572B’s to avoid failures at startup? I plan to use these tubes in an SB-200 amp. The amp is working now, but the tubes are weak. The replacements I have are either New Old Stock or “good” used.Thanks and 73,George, KC1V
