The diagram indicates a current of approximately 0.005 fA, assuming electrons were 10^30 times more massive.

I don't see any filaments so it looks like it's a DHM tube (Directly Heated Monkey).

But remember, the input phase is out of phase with the output by 180 degrees.

I can't help but wonder if the monkeys took note of the secondary emission from the plate and assigned "supressor monkeys" to increase efficiency?

Do you have to turn off the amp to feed it bananas?

That sneaky grid leak monkey in the corner has the right idea - He's goin to go to earth with the rebound stash
