Greetings, looking for advice. I have obtained a 2KW Plasma Generator -
great price - free! It's a crystal osc. driving a 6146, driving a
5CX1500A. First chore is a bit of restoration, then get it running on
13.56mHz to verify the health of the components.
I'm thinking of "copying" the Collins 30S-1 scheme - cathode driven AB1.
Any major pitfalls in this with a 5CX1500A ?? From the limited docs I have,
the power supply is 4800V on the plate, 500V on the screen.
An alternative to staying with the 5CX1500A would be to gut it a bit and run
a YC-179 (aka YC-156, 3CX5000). Challenge here will be the hefty output
capacitance of the YC-179 - I'd really like the resulting amp to cover 160
thru 10. Thoughts on this?
Of course, I could just go into the semiconductor business too...
THX & 73, Bill
