looking back, I seem to remember 4kv being the good fit on this tube.
Looking now that folks have more info, perhaps its a bit too high. Looking
thru sites that list specs on it, I see 2.2-4.25kv listed as a suitable
plate voltage.
With my PS sitting at 3900v no load(250k bleeder) what can I expect to see
loaded? i'm sure I'll see drop. also I'm a bit concerned now with some internal
arcing
if it way too high?
Not as concerned with whats going on inside the case, i'm designing/thinking of
heavier components on that side(tank/blocking/plate choke) anyway
Any more thoughts?
thanks.
>>Hi Chuck,
