Hee hee.

Thanks Bob, nice to start the day with a nice laugh.

Hello? Yes this is NUKE STATION #6, yes this is SM2EKM I'm coming on line,
pull the rods out.

Bob,
I think I ditched the idea with a fuse. What the heck,
if my 8171 box doesnt have a fuse why bother with this
toybox.

Jim,

If you think you need a B- fuse, put a 500 ohm 10-25 watt resistor across
the fuse incase it opens. You should also have a 100-200 Ohm 25 watt B-
lead to ground in the power supply and the 1 ohm grid metering resistor in
the head. That way things dont "run wild" if the fuse opens.

My large projects have 5 ohm 100 Watt glitch resistors in the PS.

What's a parasitic suppressor? OH no...

Im working on fixing up a L-4B, it has fried resistors
in the supressors. They use 3 x 15 ohms but I have none
in my junkbox however I have plenty of 10 ohm Rs, will
that do? 3 x 10 ohm Rs?
It doesnt seem to matter too much, I notice that the L-7
use 2 x 47 ohm Rs and the Henry 3K 2 x 150 ohm Rs, it
seems to be all over the place.

Im following VE7RFs advice to ground grid pins with
wide straps. Suppose I have to put in a fuse in the B-
return to be safe. Also Im swapping out the .82 R in
the PS for a better glitch R, also I put diodes across
the I meter.
Anything else I should think about?
