Wonder if this would work on a "Zombie" tube where I accidentally did something similar: heater was at 9V for less than a second. Stupid I know but visible light emission is very low compared to another identical tube under same bias etc. I did hear that emissive coating damage is supposed to be irreversible but maybe not, plan is to try a variant of this where negative voltage is applied with tube at +170 Celsius so the coating is persuaded to re-coat the now cold heater by a variant of sputtering as this is essentially how it was applied at the factory. Might work on age weakened VFDs as well which would be excellent!

Can you give a little more details on how is this working and what are the perfect voltage conditions for heating and time (I saw you put a little bit more than the normal value, aswell for the 45's you also rejuvenated). Thank you for the sharing of this excellent knowledge !! Now I know that I won't ever throw a "bad" tube anymore !

good afternoon dear Fernando. Thanks for your comment. It depends on. If a tube is in good condition with just simple emission issue, it takes 3~5 hours is OK. But some tubes which were used for long time with overload, it takes 24 hours or more. Sometimes it is a small amount of improvement only. voltage is same as the original spec. Have a great day.

Hi, great video. I have a custom 12 X 6550 (kt88) amp that red played all its output valves very quickly. The amp was turned off very very quickly, I turned down the bias pot and tried again. Although not going into red plate again, the power output was much less. The valves were all with less than 24 hours use. I suspect a capacitor. I am wondering if I might need to go through your process. I don't want to buy 12 new matched valves! I'm hoping the valves weren't taken too far and can be salvaged!

Wow, I’m very surprised that works! It would seem like while you’re stripping your heaters you’re building a layer on your cathode, AKA cathode poisoning. I wonder if there is a way to heat the tube to fix this rather than apply heater voltage that long. I suppose if a tube is dead, one is less concerned with shortening its life🙃.

It's because of high plate current caused by 0 bias(short circuit between filament ~ GND). No plate current at all after my mistake however the 300b tube was revitalized by supplying 5V for more than 10 hours. This method eliminates invisible gas layer which are concentrated on filament. watch my video again, you can save lots of money

it is a regulated power supply, in this case it gives a voltage of 5.3 volt to the filament of the tube and the filament withdraw a current of 1.3 amperes

Youngさん、お返事有難うございます。おっしゃる通りです。カナダからですとアンプは重たいので運送代が高いと思いますが色々と方法を調べてみます。 もう一つの問題は一回の購入する商品の価格がA$1000を超えない事です。これを超えると関税がかかってしまうからです。もしこの先Yungさんの商品を購入するときには工夫が必要と思います。 現在私のAudio機械の使い方はDAC - PreAMP(Tube) - Audiolab(8300xp) Power AMP - Speakerで聞いています。Power AMPをTubeに替えるか、pre main AMPで楽しむか考えています。

The tube was damaged. It was NOT a tube that lost it's ability to conduct from old age. You cannot revitalize a vacuum tube unless you disassemble it, replace the filament (or cathode if equipped), put in a new getter material, and then re-vacuum, seal, and initialize the getter to remove unwanted gases.
