Robin- I may have a longer ceramic insulator that would fit your needs. Tell me how long it should be and I will check the junk box. Tom K0SN [email protected]> wrote:

Seymour probably used the amp also on 20m where I met him most on the long path. We were talking about using the same tube in our amps. 73 Peter, DJ7WW -----Original-Nachricht----- Betreff: Re:

There could be a hairline crack in the ceramic. ?Needs to be take apart and checked to see if the arc was internal to the feed thru. Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS

Yes, these are the notions I've had about the remedy; maybe make an insulator from a solid rod of fiberglass or Teflon with a recess in one end to surround the bolt/nut/solder lug. Thanks Eric!

I can't tell if the break-down happened because of a defect in the insulator, or if corona from a sharp edge degraded the insulator. Either way, the insulator should be replaced as it will be

Not sure about country of origin, but the tubes were acquired from Command Technologies. I don't know what the tubes would have to do with it...the arc is prior to the tubes in the circuit. Thanks,

I'd like to know if any of you have suggestions as to what caused this HV arc to chassis and hopefully, what to do to prevent it in the future. Amp is a TenTec Centurion. It was at idle when the arc

Jim, I snapped a pic of the bandswitched input network. You can see the 40M toroid has been overheated, I recall that was the band W6CCP used it on. Note the red paint applied to the mica cap tuning

I guess efficiency and IMD will improve with 6500V at the anode, but 10m will be difficult to tune and on 160m the Gates inductor might be too small in inductance. Mine is run at 4800V, 10-160m on any

Reid, can you safely put 6500 vdc (loaded) on a 3x3 tube ?? ?What about IMD with that voltage ?? ?Most folks are getting 68% eff on the lower bands (160-30m)....with 4800-5500 vdc loaded...and a

In the case of the Hallicrafters S-38 and many many others, the chassis was on one side of the AC line, which could have been hot or neutral depending on how the (non) polarized plug was inserted into

<We hams experience this leakage current often in ungrounded old tube equipment that have large capacitors bypassing the AC line. These capacitors are connected from each side of the incoming AC line

Alan, Didn't matter. It got more written which is a good thing. Good story on the fridge. Bob W4JFA [email protected]> wrote:

It was in the Electrical Improvements thread on this group. Eric

Alan, It wasn't me. Someone wrote that it happened to them. Maybe it was another group? Bob W4JFA [email protected]> wrote:
