GG Amplifiers Bias Cut Off
In older commercial grounded grid amplifiers, it is common to see a cahngeover relay used to switch between a zener diode or similar bias regulator and a bias cut off resistor. My question is, why did

Re: TL-922 tube filament voltage.
Before retiring and while still active in the field, precision D.M.M.'s were important, not in themselves, per se, but as a reference point in any possible report ensuing from having to have employed

Re: G3SEK Tetrode Boards documentation
GM3SEK? Here is a link that turned up. No longer sold it seems, and a quick search for gerbers turned up nothing for me. The schematic is in the manual so one could do a board run if so inclined. Bob

Re: G3SEK Tetrode Boards documentation
Attached to this email are the manuals for the G3SEK tetrode and triode boards as well as the tetrode board design documentation. Maybe the moderators can add these to the group files section.

Re: Amp modification
Hi, Would anyone have the G3SEK schematic and PCB drawings for download? The link seems to be broken for me: http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek/boards/tetrode/tetrode-1.htm Cheers, Mike Peace VK6ADA

Re: Amp modification
I have ran into a couple of those online. Wanted to put one in my Thunderbolt, as it uses the gas filled tubes to regulate the screen, but I was gonna try a string of Zeners soldered into an old tube

Re: Amp modification
The tetrode boards aren¡¯t particularly complicated if you only implement the screen current trip. On my tetrode amplifier, I eliminated the control grid current trip and ALC circuitry. Their primary

Can't beat the simplicity of a triode amplifier.

Sell your 4CX250's and purchase the 3CX400's ?

Re: Amp modification
Main reason for looking into the 4CX250 is I have a ton of them, like 10-12 of them, sockets and chimneys as well. My father-in-law who is also my elmer built an amp around the RF deck of a KWS-1 that

Re: Amp modification
I would get the 3CX800 checked out and if good go with that. Socket is the same, filament voltage would need changed and maybe the bias. That should be it. Look at all the Alpha amps that have been

Re: Amp modification
Hi Billy, I'm not an amplifier guru. I've studied & repaired a few. There's a notion in the RF amplifier camp that says "if your amplifier needs more than one tube, you need a different design." I

Re: TL-922 tube filament voltage.
You can buy many decent RMS multimeters like the Brymen BM857 that is a fully safety rated and protected meter that is much cheaper than the Fluke. There are others.? There is a Multimeter comparison

Amp modification
Well, I was lucky enough to pick up a Henry Tempo 2006 that did not have any tubes. Yes, 3CX400A7 tubes are expensive so we were looking into modifying it to run 2 or 3 4CX250B tubes instead. I know
