21. [Amps] ferrite in RF chokes for PAs (score: 1)
Author: "John Lyles" <jtml@losalamos.com>
Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2008 08:29:02 -0700
Plate RF choke has an appreciable DC current component in it. This lowers the effective mu of the ferrite, and makes it less effective as a choke. As a matter of fact, the value of inductance will fl

Allen It does sound suspicious that somehow, you have a sneak path for bleeder current to ground. The bleeders and the entire HV PS should be floated and only the neg lead should be brought back to y

You won't get any concensus here on a single path to upgrade this venerable and easy-to-mod power amplifier. However, IMHO: Highly recommended: 1) drill the small holes to be able to lube the fan eve

Bill and Carl's sugestions are excellent . One more possibility is that one of the sockets isn't making good contact so that tube is emission starved. Have you tried swapping the 2 tubes in their soc

For the record here: Both Thompson and Amperex are still making glass tubes. Not all of the glass tubes, but the more profitable glass tubes. For instance, you can still buy 3-500Z from the Amperex C

Sorry to add another 2 cents to this, but.... If the plate current meter is after the power supply output terminals, the swinging choke should have nothing to do with this excessive current when you
