Re: resistor's as grid fuses ...VS a real grid fuse holder.
Copper tubing is quite expensive overhere now. 10mm diameter is 3,60 Euro/m, 18mm is 6,40 Euro/m. Prices are for small quantities of course. 73 Peter ________________________________ From:

Re: HV Fuses.... and why we need em.
What is your reason for that large capacitor? Are you using single phase at that power level? I only use 2?F maximum or none in my large power supplies, so my glitch resistors and magnetic breakers

Re: SB-200 newbie question
This wouldnt be the core problem I guess but if a 33 ohm resistor has changed to 45 ohms it needs to be replaced, I hope you have done it already. To me it sounds like the problem is on the output
