- Folks - My AL-1200 repair efforts continue. As you may recall, the parasitic suppresser came unsoldered and I had some sort of oscillation in the grid that took out the grid resistors, a resister in

- The bias is controlled by two zener diodes (controlled by the CW/SSB switch). Does toggling the switch make an appreciable difference in the resting current? Most likely, you have a damaged zener. It

- ** Agreed, but anode(plate) to grid arcs are typically the result of loose gold particles , not a ceramic-metal seal leak. According to Eimac's 8877's development team, gold migration is the result

- ** Gold-evaporation only happens during a VHF or UHF oscillation in tubes with a gold-plated grid. 3cx1200... does not have a gold-plated grid, but in my opinion it can oscillate. . -- Joe Funderber

- My knowledge of atomic physics is limited, but it strikes me as much more likely that some of the gold balls have cathode material on them. Steve _______________________________________________ Amps

- I think they don't need to be. If something delivers enough energy to spray melted gold from the grid everywhere, I reckon that it's highly likely that some cathode material gets sprayed around as we
