The 640 Socket does not have the built-in screen bypass. It has only one screen lead unlike the 630 that has several screen bypass connections . E F Johnson sold a screen shield ring that worked Well

RF grounded screens (Eimac socket WITH bypass) + total 10K resistor(s) hung from screen to ground + swamped grid circuit = don't need no stinkin neutralization. Period. Especially at 6m. 73 Dick, K5A
I suggested to the original poster that he make it a swamped class AB1 amplifier. He will get plenty of drive with a 50-ohm swamping resistor. The only tuning he needs is a small coil to balance out

-- ORIGINAL MESSAGE --(may be snipped) REPLY: Agreed. I recall from an ARRL handbook 40 years ago that a .001 uF disk ceramic cap with leads about 1/2 inch was series resonant at six meters. Excellen
Series-resonant screen bypassing works, and was not unusual in the days of the 4-125A or 4-250A 50 and 144 MHz amplifiers. It can however be difficult to adjust especially if there are 4 tubes. 73/ K
The Collins 30S-1 also used grounded screen and was neutralized. 73 Jim W7RY --Original Message-- From: sm0aom@telia.com Sent: Monday, July 27, 2015 1:49 PM To: mike@tubby.org Cc: amps@contesting.com
The 30S-1 is grounded-grid, not only grounded-screen, and also is cathode-driven. It uses RF negative feedback which is a very different animal compared to neutralization. The preivously referenced C
