correct me if i am wrong and i probley am. the heater voltage was not 6.3v in stand by and there was no emmission being produced in the standby mode was there. didnt most tv stations leave their transmitters on after going off the air and reduced the power on them. the theory was the cycling of the filiments was harder on the tubes than just lowering the filiments. i seen tons of instant on rca,s and zeniths and i never saw them go down faster seems to me like they always had a better picture than the warm up filiments and the ones around here lasted for years and years. we need to do some research on this. steve
