REJUVENATING RADIO TUBES
By R. M. Sherrill'
(Radio Engineer)
When the UV 2olA type tubes have
been in operationfor a long tinie, ha-
ve been used with too high a plate
voltage, or have been used with too
high a filanxent voltage,- they some-
times become quite' insensitive. Tub-
bes in this condition inay very often
be made as good as new by an easy
process of rejuvenatjon or reactiva-
tion,
An investigation of this process by
the Bureau of Standards has shown it
to be effective in restoring old tubes.
The process, as given by the Radio
Corporation, is in two parts called
fl'ashing and aging. First the fila-
ment is flashed at a high voltage for
a short time, and then it is aged by
being operated ata somewhat lower
voltage for a longer time. " The times
and voltages to be used for various
tubes are as follows:
For Flashing
Tube Filament Time.
UX & LTV 199 _.......io Vts ..._3osec.
UX & UV 2orA .,..w...15 Vts...w......x min
UX 120 _...10. Vts...._...i min.
For Aging
TJX & UV I99....._4.5 VCs -- xo min.
UX & UV 201 7.5 Vts-.- IO' min.
UX 120 -...4,5 Vts_.....xo'min.
This process is effective only on
tubes with the thoriated—tungsten
filaments. The WDxx and WDI2 tu-
bes cannot therefore be reastivated in
this way. The data given above ap-
plies, of course, to the Cunningham
tubes of the corresponding numbers.
Either AC or DC may be used on the
filaments during the processbut the'
plate and grid must not be connected
to anything.
Before . attempting to rejuvenate
your tubes, make sure that they really
need it, and°that the trouble in the re-
ceiver is not caused by poor B batt-,
eries or something else in the set be-
sides the tubes.

Chicago Station Reports'
Radio Reception Conditions
Station WIBO, of Chicago, has a
number ofradio scouts listening in
every evening, who report on the DX
stations that are coming in, and their
wavelengths. These reports are bre-
adcast by WIBO as soon as they are
received so that all listeners may
tune in for these distant stations.
When receiving conditions• are ex-
, ceptionally good, WIBO broadcasts
this 'information so that all who wish
'may get it ,on the D Ximmediately. If
.the weather conditions are bad and
�WIBO's scouts report poor reception,
this information is also broadcast so
that listeners will know that it is the
weather and not theirsets that is re-
sponsible for the poor reception.
WIBO is creating a good will among
its listeners`=by rendering this, nightly
service.
Static Bad In Brazil
Although Brazil has been one of the
best customers of America exporters,
the development of radio in that
country has .been seriously hindered
by static. During the greater part of
the year, static spoils the reception of
anything but strong radio signals,
Several amateur stations however, ha-
ve been getting through on the real
short wavelengths. '
;Radio Questions and Answers
(Mr. Sherrill . will be glad to help
you solve your radio problems. Write
'amain care of this paper.)
Q'A. J. K. asks: "Is there any ole-'
jection iii using as high as 45 volts on
the plate of the detector tube in a five
tube Neutrodyne?"
Alis.:—Not, except that the set will
be a little noisier, arid perhaps a little
more critical to tune -
Q. -W. F. S. asks: "What is the ad-
vantage of having the A battery
grounded?"
Ans.:—When the A battery is
grounded, there is less likeliness of
picking up a hum or other disturbance
from power lines. Also, when the
tuning controls are properly connect-
ed, the body -capacity effect of the op-
erator will be reduced.'
Q.—E. E. B. says: "Lam using a
four tube set which has a combination
meter for reading the plate and
fila-
ment voltages. Sometimes, after re-
ading the plate voltage, the inside of
the glass front of the meter clouds up
with moisture, and sometimes the fila-
ment , voltage reads ten volts on the
meter, although I am only using a 6
volt storage battery. What would
make the meter act this way?"
.Ansa—The meter you are lasing .is
probably not intended to read the
plate voltage except for 'a few seconds
at a time. The heat generated in the
meter by leaving it connected to the=
plate voltage, will drive out the mois-
ture which condenses on the glass.
The moisture also might cause
enough of a leak to make the meter
read abnormally highon the low vol-
tage scale.

tural Society for the 23rd season.
