Sandy,
Condensed Mercury -at- ambient Temp. - Good point, .. having never seen
one of these tubes I have to admit - " I Don't Know " how to explain that,
so the least I could do for a fellow HAM is check some other data sources,
and quote them this time. :-)

note - this book lists over 11,000 tubes.
Tube Data

this is a comprehensive 'data base' for IBM PC's listing 30,000 plus tubes.
Amperex Catalog No. CC766
considering where the tube was made . . . . .
These three sources all say that The 6508 is a Half wave Mercury Rectifier,
so, in my opinion . . . . but you know what they say about opinions. ;-)
