[Amps] Plate Choke question

[Carl]

I place the glitch resistor right at the base of the plate choke so it will 
be effective as a RFC and the PS end bypassed. Something in the vicinity of 
7-10uH is fine and if something bigger as a resistor is needed then add at 
the PS.

Gotta love nichrome when it is actually doing something useful!  You can 
even use the nichrome wire from one of those voodoo supressors and wind a 
choke.
