That can't be a suppressor grid tied to a filament lead?? Internal shield of
some sort?

I prefer the real spec sheet Pete. Its called an accelerator grid; for lack of a better name I guess even tho it functions as a screen. The middle grid in the diagram are the focus electrodes.

Hi Carl

I got an email from a boatanchor newsgroup user telling me that the tubes weren't interchangeable. Late at night, getting old, etc...  I saw that spec sheet before and forgot about the i.s. being tied to pin 5 and that pin 5 was to be grounded.
I'll pass that link along to my new "friend."  ;

Thats what you get for "leaving your mark" on too many trees Pete

Couldnt resist that one.

So, do you have enough test equipment down there to join the testing. Im glad to see the interest on this forum as the homebrew and others cant get beyond arguing about a one tube RX and TX.

Gas was $3.55 down the street from the tank farm in Chelsea, MA today. Had to drop off a restored R-390A at an air freight terminal that is going to Australia. I always hate that drive.

Only three good generators in the shack:  two older Clemens units and a Boonton 102F.
Unfortunately tt will be a while before I get to the point where I anything to do any measurements on!  Retirement won't here soon enough.
