Home Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I'm curious too!

The getter is certainly the easiest and quickest way to help identify tubes. But I think you're asking if any particular shape was chosen vs any ol' getter available at the time will do for a reservoir to hold the material.

Do some getter reservoir shapes work better than others by yielding more flash in the bulb to extend life. Are more/less gasses released by different internal designs that determine getter shape requirements. Why side getters in some instances.

Interesting question you have there.
