Hi Marcin, Yes, it might be that which is affecting the whole circuit. I'll look more into that. Thanks for the tip! /Martin On Wednesday, March 20, 2013 9:26:37 AM UTC+1, marcin wrote: > Would it be possible that the guides' current is to high? > Marcin > -- You received this message be

Thank you Jon D. and Marcin for your input on the OTK markings. It turns out that mine once had marking which have been rubbed off due to much handling. My A-201's looks like they have been used since they have bent pins and almost no OTK markings left, I could just see some traces of markings

Hi Martin, Congrats on your success! I have four A-201s. The two that have a date stamp of 1281 are clearly stamped with a purple "OTK 6" (one is super sharp, the other very faint but readable). The one with a date stamp of 1282 has a purple stamp with only "OTK" on it and no trace of a digi

Hi Marcin, I went and had a check on my A-201 under a sharp lamp and on the one working best there are actually very faint traces of a purplish looking stamp but I can't say what it should read but it could be the OTK stamp, the others have some traces of black ink in that position but I can't

Hi Martin, just very shortly: My only A201 is stamped OTK 6. It is a week vertical stamp on the right side of the tube symbol. Super to hear about your progress. I am so behind with everything that my own rear is in front of me right now. Marcin On 16/03/2013 15:18, Dekatron42 wrote: Thanks!

Thanks! As soon as I have a finished version I'll post it here. I have to check the limits of the voltages and currents for my circuit so I can compare those to the datasheets so that everything will be within tolerances, I don't want anyone to damage their rare Polyatron if they try my desi

Thanks! I finally got hold of a few A-201's a few weeks ago and have been thinking about how they should be connected ever since the discussion here on the forum a few weeks ago. Yesterday I started to experiment with them and after a few tries I managed to get a stuttering count but today I s
