I would like to say thanks to Tim Jones for his excellent work on the C16J thyratron replacement. For a very reasonable price I have replaced both of my tubes and my 10ee is working a lot better than I expected.
I will restrain myself from giving all of the credit to these parts because I think I had a weak tube and just having two good working thyratrons (or thyratron replacements) made a great improvement on my lathe. I have noticed much quieter operation, and the control of the speed is much finer. I can dial in 30 rpms if needed or all the way up to max speed and I can set the speed very precisely.
Couldn't be happier. Now to get rid of that noisy fan.
