[Amps] HV cable for abt 200 degrees celsius?

[Frank Goenninger]

Thx for the hint - I was so much into special cables that I
really did not think of some coax being usable for this.

So I make my anode supply connections with the RG400 ?!

Any further things to think of that I should know?

Thx for all the answers so far! Again, a critical step to my
own amp done - with the help of you guys. TNX!

73,  Frank
