Another question what is the correct name for this type of rotary converter. Something not right with this the badge says 24volt dc input. But if used at 24 it puts 12 volts on each filament and nearly 500v Of ht. Running at 12 volts gives me around 6 volt on the heaters and 250 for HT. the label says 250 volt output. No idea why the input voltage is wrong on a factory label

This probably explains why I got the smoke when it was first powered up at 24. That’s what you get for bothering to read the instructions LOL
