You tried the RCA Transmitting Tube Manual recommended cathode feedback
resistors and they don't work? . . You tried a shunt screen regulator to
protect the delicate 8w screens and it does not work?. You tried the
simplified grid bias circuit that eliminates delicate parts and it
doesn't work either?.

Agreed, Carl. Another method of assuring that no grid current flows
would make it easier on the eyes. . The RCA xmtting tube manual tells
how to make AB1 operation with the 8122 even mo' betta.

Is this a shunt regulator?
