Hi Arnie, I have three of these tubes that are unused and I don't think I will need them for projects that were planned at the time. I paid $200 total for them and would like to recover my cost if yo

Emco makes a potted module that ouputs 0 to 10kv at .2ma with .7 to 15vdc input. They are available on Ebay for about $40 by searching for "10kv". I use one of these and my trusty old Heathkit VOM on

A cathode driven configuration doesn't inherently cause excessive grid current. If proper grid and screen voltages are supplied, the grid current is a function of grid bias voltage and drive level, j

One further clarification, in grid driven configuration: yes, the screen is grounded for r.f. but so is the cathode (less so if a degeneration resistor is used), so the drive is still applied between

I have heard the term "super cathode drive" many times but have not seen an explanation of what it means. A Google search turns up links that mention super cathode drive and G2DAF circuits but no rea

Whoa, wait a minute! That 150cm by 100 cm opening might be a waveguide beyond cutoff but the attenuation for this size opening is pretty low according to the Bill Orr Radio Handbook. The chart for th

Also, along the lines suggested by George, K6GT, the usual zener diode mounting insulators are fairly fragile and can allow a sneak cathode to ground path. This typically happens as a result of a pla

So we have a string of diodes with a few microamps flowing in the reverse direction. If one of the diodes is rated for 200v and and there is 300v across it, will it fail? I guess I haven't seen the e

The filament transformer will limit the current to a large extent. Also, the resistance of the filament or heater will rise very quickly when the voltage is applied. For example, the TH347 filament r
