Tube life of 1J24B in CGS 65 VCA

Tube life of 1J24B in CGS 65 VCA

2010-04-13 by Richard Brewster

Watching that green glow coming through the crack between panels made me
wonder if the 1J24B tube is going to burn out one day. How long is that
going to be? I have some spares, but I was thinking it might be prudent
to keep the module unplugged when I'm not using it.

It is a military grade tube, so I suspect it has a good life. It is also
using such a tiny current through its heater that there won't be a lot of
stress.
I've not heard of any cases of them dying yet though. My only corpse died at
the hands of the postage system.
