-> I probably won't hold that one against you - - after all, lots of  "all
-> American five" radios worked ok with only a single wave rectifier.
-> BUT -  I still would like to know how these bulb rectifier things with
-> only two leads work.

-> With a little research, I see that there was another kind, with
-> tungsten filament and Argon gas, but I still haven't found how any of
-> those may have worked with only two leads exiting the bulb, or if that
-> is what is/was here.

 The only thing I can think of is that the Kathode was made out of a
Beta Emitter. Rembember in the "Old Days" we used radioactive materials
for a lot ot things.
