Time to delve into this power supply now. I am going solid state, and have a 900-0-900 hv tfmr as stated intially...
and you will not be running as much plate current when you tune it up
If I put say 760-800v (just guessing what it will be after the choke-input filter) on the finals plates instead of the stock 620v, and there are no resistance changes in the PA, won't the plate current be higher (according to Ohms Law?). 330mA at 620v = 1879 ohms. So, 1879 ohms with 800v is 426 mA. What am I missing? Or is there some change in the resistance?
Check the screen dropping resistor also.Too high of a screen voltage blows these tubes kinda quick
I suppose I can add/chnage whatever I need to the big droppers R15 and R16. What about the stock 150v to the clamper and finals screens. Should they be increased by some amount or stay at 150v? Same question for bias, how much higher? Is it a proportional percentage to the plate or screen voltages?
Thanks gang,
