Re: YC-156 amp
Yes understand. Well 4-1000As can be made to run very good, however I just want to try something else. However those tubes they glow very nice in the dark, both filament and plates. 73 SM2EKM

Re: YC-156 amp
Thanks Tony, OK 19 dB or so, sounds nice. Yes its a nice tube, time to retire the old 4-1000A bottles. As I said it will be a simple swap. I already have two 7.5 V fil transformers in the box, just

Re: YC-156 amp
Well they are difficult to get stable. They run just fine now but Ive used 4-1000s for 35 years and frankly Im a bit bored with them. 73 Jim SM2EKM ---------------- GGLL wrote:

Re: YC-156 amp
I have several friends running the YC-156/179 GG, cathode driven with tuned input. With anode voltages of 5500 to 6500 they observe power gains upwards of 19 dB. As you reduce the plate voltage drive

Re: YC-156 amp
My Buddy still has my 4-1000A with a pair of BC610 plate transformers. It is stable 160 through 10. makes 1500 watts. makes a lot more with 5500 on the plate. "Mike(W5UC) & Kathy(K5MWH)"

Re: Need schematic or transistor data (for Henry SS amp)
No, they're not for feedback; these resistors are from base to ground and even from base to base, there are three, and are different types than those used in the attenuator for example, look modern;

Re: YC-156 amp
Jim, more years ago than I can remember I built a 4-1000A GG amp. It was ok, but hard to drive. At that time I had a HT-37. I came upon a 3-1000Z, which can be plugged right into that same socket.

I agree with Will. Why rebuild, I would just fix whats broken and continue to use it. 73 Jim SM2EKM -------------------- tm303 wrote:

YC-156 amp
Jim, Grid drive I suppose? In GG I would guess with 200W drive maybe 5-6 kW, or? Im planing to replace my 2x4-1000As with a YC-156, I think its a ideal tube. As soon as I can get hold of a good one at

Re: Can Grid Dissipation in metal GG triodes be increased ????
Jim, Grid dissipation is measured by ohms law, grid voltage by grid current. Since the grid is at ground, you just measure the catode voltage with a scope. For calculation of efficiency you have to

Re: "New" method of fabricating a better chimney
The straight up and down chimney will work pretty well if the flange is sub mounted below the chassis so air has a better path up through the anode. That's the plan here for the YC-156/179. 73, Tony

Re: Can Grid Dissipation in metal GG triodes be increased ????
That is a good point for tubes like the YC-156/179. On tubes like the planar constructed GS-35B, the grid is tied directly to the ring and can move more heat. Unfortunately, the actual construction of
