WARNING: Tube/Valve amplifiers use potentially LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES.
Building, troubleshooting and testing of these amplifiers should only be
performed by someone who is thoroughly familiar with
the safety precautions around high voltages.
HI all,
Just a fun picture of the thermionic family.
The big one isn't listed @TDSL, I wonder how much Pa it has?
the small one is a nuvistor, middle one is a std ECC, in the background (if someone wonders) is a few µF several kV "liquid cap".
I follow you, tubelab, actually the E1300 is a relic of my HAM-club.
Anyway, I don't think I'm skilled enough to work with kVs, are those big tube worth with let's say 500-600V (@10-20%ratings) ? Sure there is plenty of headroom
