Graphite heat shield for vaccum tubes





I have bought two units of Graphite heat shields made by Hobby Lab for use with my Western Electric 124b amplifiers. I have placed the two shields at the U 52 rectifiers tubes.
The purpose of the shilds are to enable quicker heat dispersement so as to protect the life span of the tubes as well as reducing the various noise interference.
The graphite shields have to be "cut" and polish from a single block of graphite.
Upon playing my WE 124 amplifiers, I can feel that the surounding temperatures were reduced. I will further test and review the graphite shiels for a little longer.. Science and technology!
