I think you are over thinking this degassing issue? By adjusting the amount of bias diodes you can adjust the anode current.

So I went to full voltage tests with the 2 tubes in place. With zero bias I measure · CW voltmeter 1700 V measures 236*8=1888 V intensity 175 mA; the tubes do not redden 298 W (2

Yeah mate. FIIK?. Pair of 3-500Z and the cap was 4700uF/50V. When the amp was keyed, the reed relay contact shorted the 15k resistor in series with the diodes. The idle current would take a full

Hello Please do not think that I am not interested in your relevant information. I have to integrate them and, often, I redo the experiments not to verify their validity but to adapt them to my

##? what tube were u using ?? ?This makes no sense at all.? The string of diodes and the parallel? cap are in the circuit at all times...and in series with the 50-100K? cutoff resistor.? We

Hi Jim. I tried a large value electrolytic across the bias string and every time I keyed up, the ZSAC would take a while to stabilise at the set level. When I stuck something like a 22uF in its place

Francois,? ?with zero bias on the L4B, using Eimac 3-500Z's ( MU=130)? the? idle current is 220-230 ma = 575w to 600 watts of idle power.... = blast furnace. If using Chinese 3-500Z's (

John and Alek, my friend just spoke to Tibi at OM Power the other day. ?He called to order some FU728 tubes. ?Tibi said to him that his supplier of tubes in China is making a design change inside

What should happen if I add the red components in the attached schematic. I have the impression that it would do the opposite of the desired effect, we would block the tube on a strong RF input. I

Yes. At 2.5kV plate volts, you probably don't need bias. At 3kV in the TL-922, you definitely want bias but as VK6JX mentioned, forward biased string of 6A10 diodes is a lot cheaper than a 50W zener

Hi Francois. In my experience, the 7.5V Zener provides a little bit of bias to limit the quiescent current of a pair of 3-500Zs running at around 3kV to 150mA. This is the requirement for Class

Hello Now that both of my 3-500Zs have been de-gassed, I have a new question. · In the L7 (Drake) the bias is at 0 volts · In the Kenwood TL-522 it is -7.5 V as shown in the

Hello Cooking the tubes. It was necessary to modify the tube polarization system. As shown previously, the HT power supply is floating relative to ground. This trick allows the cathode voltage

I had a bad relay on my Al-811H and went this route. There’s a write up on DX World here: https://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/ameritron-al811-relay-headache-solved-my-way.265840/ I bought special
