I stand corrected... The KV-5000 and 5100 both have non-instant filament supplies which come from the FBT, and being that the both use the same CRT (SD-59), I don't know why only the 5100 has the "econoquick" badge. I got confused with the KV-9000, which does have instant on and a separate filament supply transformer (I double-checked before stating this time, LOL).

Thanks for pointing that out, and sorry for making an assumption based on a bad memory of models ...
