Re: WD7S lack of HV circuit ?
My first thought was that this would be easy to set up with a opto relay across the bottom resistor but on second thoughts, It might be a bit more challenging because you have the bleed down of the

WD7S lack of HV circuit ?
WD7S, on one of his boards he sold, was made to shut things down in the event of loss of B+. If I remember?correctly, it resembled a mess of series resistors, like you would use to meter HV, (without

Re: 3-500 tubes
Careful with any hi-pot test results.? You can easily skew the results, depending on what leakage current you have it dialed up to. And ua leakage is not linear? vs applied voltage either.? Typ

Re: 3-500 tubes
You are forgetting the grid to cathode test specs. The China tubes usually hi pot to 1kv grid to cathode at best maybe a hair higher. Inter-electrode capacitance is roughly double of the Eimac spec.
