Tubing/strap for RF
bloody capacitors are common in larger commercial amplifiers. ### Jenning's only list's one water cooled cap...1000A ! ### Jenning's makes one air cooled cap... abt 17" long...8" diam. 400A.... [no

Regarding Henry SS amplifier
Well, do you remember my last post about that VHF solid state amp?. I emailed Henry radio asking for data about the transistors and if possible a circuit schematic. I think it was 5' later I received

Water Cooling A GS-35
Hey all, I would like to build a water cooled GS-35B for 2 meters. Although not set in stone, the current design uses a 3" dia, 1/2wl plate line. Am I dreaming of routing the water lines out the HV

zirconium coated anodes... and gettering is done when tubes show colour... aprx 800 deg C. I'm inclined to agree. only? ###### It can't !! 3-500'z don't have any internal filament heat activated

Re: How to manage Filament Voltage on a 3000/6000/10,000A7 triode or tetrode
Current flowing has nothing to do with the rate at which electrons are being boiled off of the tungsten dicarbide (W^2C) layer on the filament.

Re: How to manage Filament Voltage on a 3000/6000/10,000A7 triode or tetrode
To me that is hard to believe. I never recognized any emission current higher then a few microamps without voltages on other electrodes of a tube. Without anode voltage there will be only a cloud of

So how can a 3-500 be gettered by running the filament only?

Re: How to Getter a 3CX-3000A7 / 6000 / 10,000 , etc !
My take on gettering / gas contamination, or the lack thereof, is that it mainly came from a station who was trying to explain big-bang arcing in the output sections of HF/MF amplifiers by a means

The evidence is that they strike glass, causing it ti fluoresce. I've seen 4-1000As with glass that turned pale brown where electrons had been banging it. R L MEASURES, AG6K. 805-386-3734 r@...

Jim, Below is a quote from Terman on this subject. "Zirconium is also a useful metal in this regard. Zirconium at 1400 deg C will absorb copius quantities of such gasses as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon
