Sorry, I should have said the AM/PM I was thinking of was in the varactor effect in the semiconductor junctions when the output stage drain/collector voltage was modulated. I suspect that it would ge

No, 30dB is just fine - it will give you 0.5-0.8W output which is 5-6V rf. I tried a simple detector at 144MHz with 51R resistor, 1N4148 and 10nF capacitor (very short leads on all of them). Feeding

Interesting. In the 4CX250s I've opened up, I don't recall seeing any ceramic in the grid support structures - but these would have been 60/70s date codes. As you say, maybe the original design was d

I was musing on this overnight - tin 'whiskers' with lead free solder is an issue in where there's very fine line spacing on component legs/pcbs. I think there's a different problem we'll see, and pr

Being really pedantic, what's troubling you is mostly tar, not nicotine. That will point you at effective solvents if you want to wash it away. The alternative is to drive off the volatile content w

I doubt it would work. The impedances at the transistor side of the transformer are very low (few ohms) so any inductance from the switching will totally mess up the higher frequency operation. I su

I'd argue it's only butchery if something can't be undone - like modifying metalwork, for example. If I kludge in an ugly string of diodes in a way that means they can be removed without leaving a t

In the case of an arc, you end up with a lot of volts across R13 which could have consequences for the tube, insulation and decoupling components depending on how your amp is configured. A low value

It's worth pointing out that the peak current in the transformer is the same as the peak current in the diodes. The heating effect of the current flowing in short peaks (in a cap input supply) is 2.5
