Can one use an eimac 3cx1200Z7 tube in lieu of the 3cx1200D7 tube? I note that the Z7 series has a flange at the bottom of the ceramic portion so will that pose a problem for a swap? Also the grid pi

In RF power amplifiers, HF to VHF range, I have used brass or nonmagnetic stainless steel hardware for years, after having been "Burned" by steel screws - pun intended. Several times in my career I h

Carl mentioned about using .01 uf caps from each hot leg of the 120/240 line to chassis..and tingling. That scheme was used on my real old drakes..except that they only had a 2 x prong 120 vac plug !

ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: The trouble with that approach is you have hot air blowing down over the tube seals and socket. Not good. Anodes by themselves are relatively unaffected to heat compared to t

A 130V MOV on the 120V AC line would get hot in a hurry 1,414 * 120 = 169.7V so the thing would be conducting a high percentage of the time. You'd want at least a 180V MOV. peak rating. MOV's are not

Some where around here I think I might still have one of those 50,000 joule MOVs and they are big. They are mounted on their own aluminum back plate. IIRC they are about 2.5 X 3.5 X about 1" thick. 7

If you want that Mig-21 sucking up gravel on an unimproved runway sound, go with a couple of Rotron Centrimax CX-33 blowers. Or, if the XYL doesn't mind a little two-cycle smoke, use a 41cc Homelite

REPLY: Just a word of advice - back to back diodes across the meters adds zero protection. Diodes don't conduct until the voltage across them reaches about .6 volts and by then the meters will be toa

This seems to be the way Ten Tec power amps are set up. My Titans, vintage 1980, are also set up that way. So take the cover off and look at it! That's what I did. End of confusion. :) It's also quit

The diode in this amp on the filter cap board shorted. That caused the grid and plate current meters to read the same. Just the plate current divided on the two meters. Jim W7RY sez in their manual t

You can also get some values of 250v ceramic fuses at Home Depot, etc. They are used in microwave ovens. I agree that slow blows are not likely to be correct for an amplifier -- they are very slow an

A fuse provides NO current limiting until it blows; and a breaker provides NO current limiting until it breaks. A lot of damage can be done in those first few milliseconds, which is why the fuse/brea
