"EP Swynar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Again John,
Interesting...! I can't honestly say that I've had the bottom cover off of my "...new/old" T4X here yet, but the schematic in the manual, at least, definitely shows that pin #8 (suppressor grid) of each tube is directly grounded, whilst pin #3 for each is connected to resistors, capacitors, etc., i.e. NO direct ground connection... This merits further investigation on the part of yours truly, Hi. ~73~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ******************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "john" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 9:30 AM Subject: Re: [drakelist] T4X Final RF Tubes > > john <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Exactly, but Drake does that at the socket, so no diff! > > JB > > > At 09:26 AM 1/20/2008, you wrote: > > >"EP Swynar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- > >Hi John, > > > >Without a base diagram of the 6GJ5 directly in front of me --- and correct > >me if I'm wrong! --- isn't the suppressor grid connected directly to the > >cathode inside of that particular tube...? > > > >~73~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ > > > > > >************************************** > > > > > > > >----- Original Message ----- > >From: "john" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 9:15 AM > >Subject: Re: [drakelist] T4X Final RF Tubes > > > > > > > > > > john <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > > Eddy > > > > > > Take a look at 6GJ5s ! > > > > > > John K5MO > > > > > > > > > At 08:32 AM 1/20/2008, you wrote: > > > >Good Morning All, > > > > > > > >I'm curious as to the results anyone may have had by substituting 12JB6 > > > >tubes in place of the "stock" 6JB6 bottles in their T4X transmitters... > > > > > > > >Glancing at the filament wiring in the schematic, such a transformation > > > >certainly looks like it'd be easy enough to execute, relatively harmless, > > > >AND simple to return the rig back to "normal" at any future time, should > > > >the need arise. > > > > > > > >I thought I was SO smart here, by convincing myself that a pair of my > > > >spare 6LQ6's would be a rugged, rough & ready primo substitute for a 6JB6 > > > >--- until I saw the comparative physical heights between the two, AND > >took > > > >a peek inside the tight quarters of the RF "cage" of my T4X, that is!
