OK, Anchorites, here’s something to sink your techie teeth into, oops, into which to sink your techie teeth...
I have come into possession of a fairly heavy piece of etritus, an amp with parallel 813s.
I’ve built all class C stuff, but this seems to have been built with linear ops in mind.
There is a bias supply with two VR-150s and a screen dropping resistor that feeds another string of VR tubes to make about 6-700V.
There’s something similar on p 191 of the ‘62 handbook and in the Aug ‘58 QST, but grid driven. Mine is FILAMENT DRIVEN, with a HB filament choke on a rod.
So maybe I’m set for AB2 operation on SSB and, by changing the bias, class C for CW.
Has anyone operated something like this?
I do have an amp with 4-125s, but they run GG all the way, no bias and no screen.
I think I’ll have to improve the packaging before I get it type accepted.
It works great!
73,
