I've regenerated somewhere around twenty GS10H's this way and a few 6909/6910/GC10D's, less rare dekatrons I just put in a box for future regeneration, and they have not stuck while they have been running, but I only run them for short periodes like a few weeks at most so I really don't know how they will fare for longer periods than that. Most have been used in rate-meter or batch-counter instruments and were not working when I rceived them. /Martin
