 		 #111460 - Filaments
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik said:
A NTC was standard to limit the inrush for the filaments in serially connected tubes/valves in radios.

I only know tube circuits having all the filaments connected in parallel. Here some examples:

Here, current limiting is provided by finite impedance of secondary winding of mains transformer.
