I am still studying a way to cook my 3-500Z which have not been hot for at least 15 years. The idea is to cook at high current with a low anode voltage, without HF.

?

The maximum rating of the cathode current is not clear in the Eimac specifications. There are examples with a current of 0.4 A (for one tube).

·???????? Does this current (0.4 A) seem acceptable to you?

·???????? Can we go beyond that?

This requires a grid voltage of around +30/+40V 100 mA. So 4 W and the tube is given for 20W

?

I am considering using, temporarily, another transformer, with a lower secondary voltage, upstream of the doubler.

?

Is this a bad idea?
