25SP22 vs. 25VERP22 and damper tubes

[N9ZQA]

Andy -

Thanks for the information. Another quick question about your setup though. You mention "the glass should fall off" and "cover the bell with a heavy blanket". Is the face of the tube horizontal or vertical during this process? My thought (from a couple posts ago) was to put the tube in something like a garbage can, with the face pointing up toward the ceiling.

This information has made me a little more comfortable in attempting to revive this tube - thanks again for all the help, guys!
