While on the subject, and really just for interesting discussion, for many years I have toyed with the idea of a some what dynamic audio control circuit for the screen of high level modulated tetrodes. The circuit would be capable of adjusting the DC screen voltage while also with a separate adjus

Beware of the lightweight XFMRs Patrick. As the turns ratio is increased, so the voltage on the input side. This will get you closer to the voltage you want at the top of the modulation XFMR but the insulation of the small XFMR may not hold up. You might be better off with you first idea. Also

I purchased this book earlier this year and have really enjoyed it. I am about 90% through it. The only negative comment that I will make is that some references in the book are not accurate. At one point, the author talks about a photo of Don's RME receiving stuff on the inside front cover of D
