Heh, I think that's why Fred sent most of his stash to me. "Let's see what you can use them for", I believe were his words

What could mean that numbers labelled with a triangle on the schemo ? AC peak or rms ?
32 at the driver anode and 3.6 at 6L6 grids ?
If dp missing, why 48 at 6L6 anodes ?

If square marked values are for DC, they are vy curious too !

Yves.

Those look like AC voltages, but referenced to a certain input which doesn't appear on that schematic fragment. The 48V at 6L6 anodes indicates that the stage gain is about 13. The DC voltages look pretty normal to me- what caught your eye as unusual?

If 1st half 12AX7 runs at 1mA (1 v accross 1K cathode res), then
there is 100v accross its plate res, and that calls for a 265v B+.
Right, since this is the 6L6 Vg2 too.

If so, how could the phase splitter have 280v on anode !

I just wanted to point that this schemo should be used with some caution.

Yves.

Yes triangles are AC signal voltages measured with a VTVM.
Squares are DC measured with a 20kOhm/Volt meter no signal.

Is there something wrong with this schematic? I'm new at this tube stuff, so please pass on any wisdom you may have.
I can post the whole schematic if you like. Just let me know.
Thank you.
Glenn

Hi,

Please do.
As Yves pointed out there's something not quite correct with the voltages (DC) as shown.

Cheers,
