Title: Cathode Modulating 2x 810's
Post by: W4RFM on November 03, 2020, 04:32:45 PM
So I am looking at an old copy of QST, April 1940 to be exact, and I see this.  What are your thoughts and opinions?

Interesting that the mod iron impedance is almost exactly that of a Heathkit Apache 11K / 3K.
I just checked (the Bay) and 809's are still available, although i am sure a later /better pair of tubes could be used.
810's are there also but both types are a little spendy, for my taste.
