If memory serves the diodes need to be configured push-pull for amplifier use and push-push if employed as an oscillator. . Its important to use a very noisy buffer in front the oscillator to cancel the hash inherent to the diodes.The second diode acts similar to a screen for steering Phil

Reverse biasing the galena crystal was a stroke of genius. 100% negative side modulation with no need for clipping on the pos. side. Cleanest class C sine wave ever. Brilliant. Brian Carling wrote: I think that was the APRIL issue of Tube Collector magazine. The heck of it is, he used a

OK BOB! You got my attention. Explain more. I hope I'm not a sucker here. I have seen and extremely low mu amplifier circuit (common cathode) made by reverse biasing the plate of a triode and forward biasing the grid where output is taken from the grid and input is on the plate. So I
