- I've got the source of much trouble here in my hand... a 3-500z with a cathode to grid short. Anyone care to suggest a method to possibly open the short. I won't trust the tube in an amplifier again,

- Hi Skipp, My method is to provide a low voltage high current source (I have used 35+ amp power supplies or even a car battery) and put one lead on the grid and one on the filament. It will burn throu

- I have fixed that by discharging about a 1000 ufd cap charged to about 15-20 volts between the filament/grid. No promises! Mark WB8JKR -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/ampsfaq.html Submission

- Let me add a few comments: Find the side of the filament with the lowest resistance reading to the grid. That will give you the most direct path. Keep the tube upright when applying power. A car batt

- The hat trick is to fix it so that the tube does not short when at normal operating temp. To do this, you need a tube that exhibits a cold g/f withstanding potential of 6 to 9 kV. To straighten bent
