I have a copy of an article by Tony Souza, W3HMU, that matches your description. It comes from Ham Radio, June 1977. I can send you a copy (contact me directly) or I can scan it and put it on a web p
The key point is whether the screen has a low impedance to ground at frequencies where the circuit can deliver much gain. In the usual '250 bases and in the Svetlana SK-1 base, the screen cap is sand
Out of interest, does anyone have figures for the dynamic regulation of gas tubes? I reckon a string of zeners will run at about 100 ohms so that would give 1-2V ripple on a '250 screen, depending o

OK, so we need several chains in parallel to carry enough current to swamp the tube screen variations. Think of the saving on the shack lighting bill :-) Steve

It's worth searching out the Duncan Amps web site and downloading their PSU designer software. It's very informative to get an idea of the peak and rms currents in any situation - rms especially wher
That side of it was part of the piece, but I think the writer was also concerned about the possibility of 'backwards' current in the lower voltage winding - I can imagine it being minor where winding
Looking at the material safety sheet it looks very similar to products sold by clock restoration suppliers for silvering dials, in case anyone can't get hold of the original. I'm always surprised how

Frequency division (producing products on 1/2f ans 3/2f etc) is not unusual in solid state PAs, especially using bipolars. It's often self sustaining once started rather than fleeting or transient. I

Perhaps 'sub harmonic' is a poor choice of term, but it's been in use as long as I've been in the rf business to describe division products. In RF Design some years ago there was a detailed article a
In linear circuits, I expect it's not possible, but few circuits are without non-linear aspects that become significant under some conditions. As best I remember the article I read, the argument goes
