Hi Allen, This isn't so outrageous. I just sold a bunch of used 4-1000A's for an estate. All I could test were the filaments, and I had a buyer who was willing to pick them up. I sold them for $25 ea

I'm looking for a 300-ohm 50w non-inductive resistor. I'm going to try the G2DAF circuit with a pair of 4-400As and this is for the grid resistor. -- Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ __

I would worry about a fuse in series with the plate supply. If it blows and if you continue to apply drive, wouldn't there be a possibility of toasting the grids? -- Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.q

With a dummy load, the capacitor is at maximum capacity on 1815 kHz when tuned for maximum output. Actually it is a hair above maximum on 3515. -- Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ _____

This is the easiest part to obtain that there is: nothing. I connected all of the grid pins in my TL922 directly to ground with the shortest possible straps. See W8JI's discussion here <http://w8ji.c

Yes, that is exactly the way to do it! :-) I also highly recommend grounding all of the grids directly, as W8JI suggests. I've been using a modified 922 for a few months now and am very happy with th

If what we are talking about is the transformers, a transformer rated for 50 Hz will work fine at 60 Hz -- in fact, it will run cooler. The opposite is not necessarily the case, especially with large
