Yes, there are now standard bypass caps rated specifically for bypassing the AC line. There are two basic types, called X1 and Y2. They're made by numerous manufacturers. Here's a link to the ones I

I haven't thought about this deeply, but I'm thinking the rate of heat transfer to the oil bath depends only on the temperature difference between the oil (adjacent to the tube anode) and the anode t

Bob, If I understand your question, you want to feed the filament of your GS35b with a current source, rather than a voltage source. On the face of it, that seems like an unorthodox thing to do, sinc

I'm still a bit uncertain whether Bob W4OAS is speaking about a constant current power supply, or a constant voltage power supply which has current limiting. They're very different creatures, but as

DPDT vacuum relays are unusual and typically sell for about $150, if you can find one. Nearly all of them have 26.5V coils. Most are made by Kilovac and Jennings, in my experience. If you can't find

Charlie, With an 8877, two bias settings aren't necessary. You'd gain a bit more efficiency on CW and slightly ower heat dissipation in the room, but that's about all. It's pretty important with tetr

It's true that the resistance of inrush current limiters varies with the load, but the time constant is long, 30 seconds or longer, for the resistance to return to the initial cold value. They work f
