- Hello, Planning on using a single power supply for two GS35-B amplifiers. Only one amp. will control the HV power supply. This amp. has a three minute delay from the time the filament applied before

- The Alpha 77DX/SX and others bring up the HV when the a.c. mains switch is activated. The timers are on the PTT line. Other manufacturers go to a lot of extra expense and circuitry to withhold the H

- As I understand it, the danger is drawing current before the cathode is fully heated up - if you do, all the current flows out of the spots that are hottest, and this can mean the current density is

- Mike, Whenever cathode current demand exceeds emission capability for the cathode operating temperature or surface area, the cathode can be chemically poisoned. This is why indirectly-heated tubes o

- I believe that a similar issue can arise with directly-heated cathodes, although the delay is much shorter. I had a 3-500Z amplifier with a step start arrangement that took about 1 second to apply fu

- I've never heard of that problem. Thoriated tungsten tubes are not subject to these problems Vic. They can tolerate much higher anode voltages and be operated with full emission saturation without d

- Sure it's possible; take a crash course in Russian and call them up! The consensus on this thread, and also my opinion is that as long as the tube(s) are hard-biased and cannot draw current, no harm
