......Take your pick.  It all starts on page 816.

Perused the circuits, but as usual the rest of the magazine was fun too.
Ads for stuff like gangedd potentiometers, log/log, Log/anti log, log/Lin, etc. for Mullard circuits,  ....just fascinating imagining the audio circuits these fit.

The modulating impedance of the P.A. can be found from:
 Z= P.A. H.T. voltage/P.A. current (mA) x 1000.

Assuming that the P.A. draws 40mA at 250V, the
impedance will be approximately 6200.


Actually it's 6250, but where did the x 1000 come from?

Normally you convert the current to ampere's, but if you don't and just use MA then the answer comes to 6.25.  When you multiply that times 1000 your back to the correct answer!

thanks Joe.

Guess I am just to literal. :D

The 1000 was a giveaway for me.  I though amps vs ma and then 1000 fit into place!   
I understand very well about being literal  ;).  Been there done that.....
