Hello!
Decided that I would rebuild my ALC60x head and give it a good clean out in the process. Started today by stripping out the electronics.
Some pics for everyone:
Anode end, there is an extra electrode on each brewster stem. IIRC these were only on older tubes which needed them before ALC came up with improved manufacturing processes... Could be wrong, but the information is on the FAQ.
Cathode end:

More pictures to come when I do some more work - probably going to strip the tube out and then rebuild it when I have a PSU to test and realign it with. Also plan on rewiring it with colour coding opposed to black and white wires - if I can get a schematic. Some parts of the casing are oxidised/rusted so I'm going to clean that up, but the tube is in a fairly good condition other than the broken thermostat which snapped in half when I was removing it.
