 | P. D. Lowell, enc of the engineer. l for the Grebe company at Richmond Hill, Long Island, offers suggestion [ which will, no doubt be of interes to all radio fans. Says Mir. Lowell "A simple method of rejuvenatint your dead tubes has been disclosed by the engineers of the A. H. Grebt Company which is well worth trial Your tubes may lack some of theil original pep even though the fila ments still burn. Reverse the polarit, of the B battery on the set: that Is connect the positive B to the mega tive terminal on the receiver ant connect the negative B to the posi- tive terminal of the receiver. Turi on the filaments of the tubes to full brillancy and let the set stay thh way for one hour. It will be founc that an hour is sufficient time il most cases to rejutenate the tubes but in cases where the tubes art usually dead. the treatment should ] be continued for one and hal hours or even more. After treating the B. battery can be changed bacl to normal connection and the gail in signal strength will be yer, marked. In the laboratory tests, ; set of tubes were used which were st dead that absolutely no signals coult be picked up when they were placed in receiver. These tubes were thel given the above described treatmen and when tried again in the receiver gave just as good results as a set 0 brand new tubes"
