Re: Supercapacitors - Possible anti-surge device to protect filaments/ heaters
That would work too...... but they have to be sized correctly.? ?They run hot, and have to stay hot.? ?IE:? no forced air on them, or their resistance will increase. The op did not tell us what

Re: Another TR-3 s/n 1329
Thanks for the suggestions guys. There was no jumper on the RV3 VFO socket. I have installed a 8 pin plug with pins 2 & 8 jumpered. It is amazing what happens when something is connected properly!

Re: Supercapacitors - Possible anti-surge device to protect filaments/ heaters
Not much to do with anti-surge devices, but the supercapacitors reminded me of... I did something with batteries. I wanted to power a near legal-limit linear off 125V. So I modified a Panasonic
