The best way I've found to hold the wire ends is Scotch thermosetting glass tape. I forget the number offhand, but it should be easy to find. It also works real good for making chimneys with Teflon o

The cooling in those conversions is nowhere near enough. The GI-7B anode cooler is not very efficient. It cannot be properly cooled with a fan blowing at it. In order to realize any decent reliabilit

Since I went through this and did some research a few years back I'll jump in here. Most motor oils, including some so called "synthetics", and transmission fluids that I checked on, use sulfur compo

Looks to me like you are running too much loading for the amount of drive. Do you have enough range on the load cap? I ran a few numbers and it looks like you would need at least 500 pF additional lo

Trying to copy a stripline design without copying it EXACTLY will usually lead to a lot of cut and try and quite possibly low efficiency. To design a stripline for any tube (or tubes), take the outpu
