Hi -
I was trying to thank someone for a very helpful post, but found out I need to introduce myself first. First, I am grateful every time I find helpful information about anything in electronics or car repair online, so there is that. I was a teenager until 1980, and my dad worked at Bell Labs retiring in 1969. So, he was a tube expert, being a ham all the way back to the 1920s. and also having the distinction of being considered the "father" of Single Side Band for ham radio. I received none of his affinity for tube-type design however. Though I do have Dynaco tube equipment, and I made a couple of Bruce Rozenblit monblocks a few years back. I currently am refurbishing a couple of Chimeatron amplified chime units from the 1960's, which use 6AQ5A push pull amps. I dabble in transistors more comfortably than tubes, as well as digital electronics. I have a stash of vintage 7-segment displays in various technologies, and have prototyped circuits for digital clocks for each. Panaplex, numitron, VFD.
Nice to be here, and I am looking forward to being able to post my first thank you.
