I'm not sure. The filament runs on 6.3 VAC RMS. Doesn't that mean 8.9 volts peak to peak ?

So I would think that using a P6KE8.2CA would result in a clipped sinewave across the CRT filament during normal operation. So it would be getting less power than normal. Curious if anyone has put a scope across the filament leads with the TVS diodes installed.
