I'm a little confused again. Setting up a 1624 tube for cathode biasing and also need to create a center tap for keying to ground. The book says 610 ohms at my voltage. So would I use a pair of 1200 ohm resistors in this case? My logic is since there is not a separate cathode then the two R in parallel would raise the filament 'cathode' 600 ohms above B-minus. TIA and Merry Christmas, Bill hey OM: Exactly and you will need at least 10 watts of resistors to be safe. Because they also will have to handle plate, grid1, grid2, and the current they draw across the filament. I suppose if they where wire wound like 25 watt you could stick a ferrite rod in their hole and make them your filament chokes also. But if you use carbon comp resistors then part of your drive will go heating those resistors, so not much gain going on there. 73 OM n8zu |
