The Blue Flame....
I know that Dave will get onto me for the onslaught of pictures, but I can't help it. When I fired this one up, I was taken...
I mean, it looks like it is on fire, right?
I got lost in those streams of electrons.. you can trace them from the filament to the plate.. see the lighter and darker streams?
And then there is the filament itself....
I can't leave it a total tease. Here she is in the daylight. Once again, a nod to Western Electric. Even their globe shapes are just slightly different than all the others...
Peace,
Me

Yeah. gotta love the WE 249B. I need some more of those. Want to trade? I use them (along with 323A/287A) in a power supply I built for the 101D-205D amp.
