Hi Dan at least the pictures I have seen are that the ionizer is a thin ribbon. I have not seen a filament style ionizer for cesium beam tubes. Regards Paul WB8TSL On Tue, Nov 12, 2019 at 11:16 PM Dan Kemppainen wrote: > So, > > If I'm interpreting the pictures correctly, It appears the hot

Hi For less than the price of a brand new tube, you can take it over and get it run through a 3D X-Ray setup. Not cheap, but then you will *know* what’s what in this specific tube. Last time I got into doing that sort of thing it was way more expensive than what I would spend in this case.

So, If I'm interpreting the pictures correctly, It appears the hot wire ionizer wire is spring loaded. It would probably take a significant impact to spring that back enough for the wire to weld back with any sort of discharge. It may be possible, but most likely not very easy to do.
