A question: But...there is no B+ for the RF, I have not built that part yet, I just want to test the modulator. The amp "should" deliver a peak of 65 or so watts. (2x 6DQ6's with 550 volts on the plate) I planned to place the 3K 100 watt resistor across the secondary and tap off it with a cap and series of resistors and feed the amp.
That low a voltage there should not be an issue with the mod secondary or inter-winding insulation if the transfomrer is new or in good shape.
But you don't need a RF B+ supply, just borrow from the modulator plate supply since you are not drawing any DC current for the non existent RF. It's just to 'charge' or 'elevate' the secondary. So either way, withoor without the high voltage on the secondary your choice it should not be a problem.
Yes place the 3K across, and tap off it with a cap, and a voltage divider like shown.
