fv1609 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 this thing is about two and a half to three inches long ? About that Wally I should think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Would it be some sort of bleed screw? The cone shape looks like it could make a seal when screwed into an opening Good thought Rob but it is a more sophisticated thing than that.

Chris Suslowicz Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Rectifier? (Possibly mercury vapour type with the screw-in part having the heater coil to get it started and the not-shown other end being the anode connection.) Could also be a thyratron or ignitron, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
