Hello everybody!
I am looking to impliment a simple linear regulator in my latest tube project to reduce the number of capacitors needed, and to make the DC more pure.
I know bits and pieces of how a linear regulator works, however my trouble comes when I try to impliment one. I have read the Wikipedia on them 1000s of times, but I still don't quite understand how to design my own and impliment that one.
I want to use a linear regulator to supply 300v at 4ma, The transistor I would like to use is the TIP50, I just assumed use a 12v Zener (it seems pretty standard), but I am trying to figure out how fully impliment the design. Mainly, I am trying to figure out how to determain R1 (See Wikipedia)

Thank you all so much,
Alex
