This one may have been asked before.Over the past few years I have constructed a few amplifiers using pairs of 4CX250/350B tubes in Super Cathode Driven Mode,The Screen Grid grounded and the Control Grid tied to the Cathode.The amplifier's have been quite reliable and I havn't worn a tube out yet despite some quite hard use from time to time.
I got the idea origionally from an article by Orr and Sayer in QST July 1967.
I am wondering if this method could be applied to the 4CX1500B.I have a few new tube's and a socket or two but can't be bothered with Grid Bias and Screen voltages and all the extra circutry involved.
I would be interested in some good technical opinion's.
Regards all from Bob VK3ZL..
