Sheet-beam tubes (6ar8, 7360, etc) as analog multipliers

Just a memory from tens of years ago:
The 7360 made a decent balanced modulator, but it is,
by definition, extremely sensitive for external electric
and magnetic fields.

You just answered a problem thats had been nagging me for over 30 years.
Now I know why the SSB transmitter I built had such an annoying hum in it.
I never thought about it being affected by a magnetic field.

Think about a magnetically-deflected TV picture tube.
I noticed the problem, when my Eico 753 (around 1968) worked
fine when the power supply was on the right side, but had
a rough hum reported by other stations, if the power supply
box was moved to the other flank.
