Re: Alpha Amp Group Still Active??
Actually, Adrian, I'm glad I didn't buy one of those, because finding short M5 metric screws here in the back-country of the USA would have been a real challenge? 8-D

Re: Alpha Amp Group Still Active??
I asked to join the 9500 group a week or two ago, but never heard back. I did search the 87A group's archives and have seen Glenn post there. But I've never seen any discussion of any other amp other

True, for that one cover page; however, the links don't go through the Wayback machine, so they don't come up with pages. One has to copy the indicated url for a link into wayback machine in order to

Re: W4ZT Amplifier Web Sites Gone
Yes, indeed; but my point is that all of this fantastic old amplifier reference material is now on it's way gone... so anybody wishing to personally archive any of it had better get busy saving

Try the Internet Wayback Machine. There's a good chance you will find it there.

Unfortunately, it seems that any reference to the original W4EMT's material is gone, too? 8-(

Old news to some, perhaps... I think he died some time ago; but W4ZT's amplifier web sites, mostly showing big Russian tubes such as the GS-35B but also with links to many European Russian tube sites,

Re: Artificial centre tap for GG 3CX1200
Thank you, Reid. I was only thinking about the RF part. I ignored the DC plate current part of the equation.
Forum readers, please excuse my oversight.
Meanwhile, I have found in my spares a NOS in

Re: Need Help with Amp Supply LK500ZC
That might be caused by a short from B- to ground (safety diode?).
In that case anode current is measured via the grid current shunt resistor
and shown as grid current as well.

Re: Artificial centre tap for GG 3CX1200
Hi Dave, the need is for a dc return, nothing in the way of capacitors will work.
Using AC on the filament a center tap for the dc return will null hum voltage.
The concept was raised of using a small

Considering the condition of that modified amp, I wonder if perhaps the grid current circuitry is miswired, and has always indicated something, but the operator just didn't realize it wasn't reading
