I have no idea what GE said to Dick E. The Eimac Letter: == "VARIAN ElMAC, 301 Industrial Way San Carlos California 94070 1 U.S.A. / Tel. (415) 592-1221 TWX 910 376-4893 February 18, 1986 Mr. Richar
It might be a good idea to hold off a bit on lighting up the victory cigar, Tom. ETO's loss of the GE Medical contract apparently had nothing to do with the timing of Eimac's 14-month 8877-heat dam
I started to have this problem in 10th grade and the problem isn't going away. ** Interesting, Dave. I apparently assumed wrongly. My take on the issue is that GE knew more about the 8877 failure pr
When Tom finally admits that AC circuit analysis is valid for vhf suppressors, that more than 20w is needed to boil gold from a 50g grid, and when he admits that Ni-Cr alloys have more R as freq inc
** Low P-out is a symptom of gold-sputtering - wherein gold evaporates from the grid and lands on the cathode. Since the gold poisons cathode emission, which lowers I-anode and power output. - I wou
** But it's not my fault, Tom. The professor who taught AC circuit analysis at Cal-Poly said that E leads I by 90? in and inductor and I lags E by 90? in a capacitor. Thank you very much for correct
sound reason One stepstart R would do the job in a 240V-only amp. In 120V/240V amp it takes two. The "Plywood-Box" 20db amp on my Web site uses one 3-ohm stepstart R and one SPST relay. The step tak
is 2KV Mr. Rauch -- 80% of 4000V = 3200V. 90% of 4000V = 3600V. What's the problem with 3500V?. And I thought the phase shift in an inductor was 90?. "In a 3000V PA stage, this would be 10,000V peak

Tom -- I did not say such. The 8877-heat dam problem lasted c, 13 months. Blaming Eimac for 8877 failures outside this period is NIH syndrome. However, the problem of 8877 failures due to gold-sputt
Good point. My guess is that most of the kvetchers are of the opinion that vhf/uhf parasitics are a myths, that feedback-C is so puny it can safely be ignored, and that the real amplifier experts ar

Welcome back, Tom. I missed you. unless Both apparently can. Eimac cautions against having more than c, 29A-rms of filament inrush current - presumably to avoid distorting the filament helices. I hav
