Good afternoon Roger and all Your brief comments about licencing and the BBC brought to mind the certification decals I've encountered on three of my early English Crystal Sets. Each of the sets have not only the BBC decals, but the serial numbers are stamped into the

From: John Coleman [EMAIL PROTECTED] The size of the spilt stator capacitor that you are looking for (will) need to be determined by the voltage and current that you intend to run, The ratio of I:E determines the capacitance There are charts in the handbooks for this purpose. Be sure to

[AMRadio] Coil for PP grid circuit

Thanks to all for the information on the capacitor. Now I have another question. I know that the manufactured coils of ancient times were rated as to watts. I have a few old coils that I know the ratings of, or they are stamped on the coil. There are some that I don't know the ratings of,

Yep, very good points Don. What I was mostly trying to say to Barrie was that tubes should be chosen first so as to acquire a ratio of plate current to plate voltage that will be used and then design the tank circuit around that. 400 Watts DC input can be achieved by 8 - 6146s in push pull

Sorry if this is doubled - I think I sent it with the wrong SMTP the first time so here it goes again. Yep, very good points Don. What I was mostly trying to say to Barrie was that tubes should be chosen first so as to acquire a ratio of plate current to plate voltage that will be used and then
