Old news to some, perhaps... I think he died some time ago; but W4ZT's amplifier web sites, mostly showing big Russian tubes such as the GS-35B but also with links to many European Russian tube sites,

Re: Artificial centre tap for GG 3CX1200
Thank you, Reid. I was only thinking about the RF part. I ignored the DC plate current part of the equation. Forum readers, please excuse my oversight. Meanwhile, I have found in my spares a NOS in

Re: Need Help with Amp Supply LK500ZC
That might be caused by a short from B- to ground (safety diode?). In that case anode current is measured via the grid current shunt resistor and shown as grid current as well. 73 Peter, DJ7WW

Re: Artificial centre tap for GG 3CX1200
Hi Dave, the need is for a dc return, nothing in the way of capacitors will work. Using AC on the filament a center tap for the dc return will null hum voltage. The concept was raised of using a small

Re: Need Help with Amp Supply LK500ZC
Considering the condition of that modified amp, I wonder if perhaps the grid current circuitry is miswired, and has always indicated something, but the operator just didn't realize it wasn't reading

Re: Artificial centre tap for GG 3CX1200
Ceramic Disk Capacitors are used as RF bypass capacitors in RF circuitry--that is to short RF to ground. And Capacitors can be also used to block DC and low frequency current form passing through
