For some reason (or other) I was dreaming about valve delay relays last night.
I do have two 30 sec octal ones in the valve drawer, but never had the occasion to use them.
After the 30 sec warm up period I presume the contacts "make", so 30 secs then "wham", all on.
The reason I like damper diodes (6D22s) is the delay and the more gradual ramp up to all on.
Anyone here any experience of valve delay relays ? I thought Cressy Snr played with them eons ago.

Yes.
I used a thirty second delay relay in the heater circuit of a GZ34.
