Man, THAT is a rectifier! Sure would look good in a set up with a
couple of 250TH's.
You would do better with a pair of 575A's or 872's. That high vacuum
rectifier will handle a lot of voltage, but look at the voltage drop
at 500 ma.
The tube would be useful for something over 10 kv and fairly low
current. The filament consumes a lot of power as well.
The 2-2000 falls into the same catagory.
I remember, Don, on one of my 'treasure hunts' at John Mohn's/W5MEU,
that he had a regulated power supply, using a pair of 4-400's.
I'd sure like to know more about using tubes, especially those
high-power pentodes, as voltage regulators.
