Ok! Myself and a couple other collectors were having a discussion the other day, about the "shields" used on some rectifier tubes. Since the consensus was that, other than mercury rectifiers, the rectifier tubes don't make RF, and aren't subject to interference. So we think the shields were more of a chimney, to keep heat from affecting various components around the tube.
Ant insight or thoughts?
