RICH SEZ... The 3cx3000A7 has 0.6 pF of feedback C. That's 6x more than the 8877 and 4x more than a 3-500Z. At its max-f rating of 110MHz, the 3cx3000A7 has an output to input feedback path with

What we are not seeing is when this fuse goes, the tube is already bad! What the grid fuse does is protect the filament transformer IMO Steven W4IIV

a little current begins to flow, the tube cuts off. My modified SB-220 and TL-922 do this, and if a tube ever happens to short, nothing is damaged. #### Partially agreed. When a grid fuse [inserted

Hey folks, I just planted the seed over there when the 'moderators' weren't looking. A little wind may restart the kindling again. Will is a good choice, he's a little more subtle than me;>)

On the "other" reflector a statement was made about TPTG oscillators and I posted a follow up question about the time of the Great Migration to this reflector so I never did get an answer. I'd like to

When a high-R exists in the cathode circuit, as soon as a little current begins to flow, the tube cuts off. My modified SB-220 and TL-922 do this, and if a tube ever happens to short, nothing is
