hickok model 800 problem
#12

Stuff that look trash inside Mercury Vapor rectifiers is not unusual.

BTW 83s are supposed to be mounted vertical. As far as I know Hickok mounted them all horizontal. Just picking nits.

When you get into ones the size of your upper arm that we used to use in adjustable speed DC drives they had a bunch in the bottom. The Mercury also can coat the inside of the bottle or something does. Never got to bust one to see. Might have started with 3B? Toooooo long ago.
