try a 6v6 qaud.

just the choke, again look at the rocket schem. I cant remember but ken used the 1k for a reason. Try it and report your findings.

"better" is subjective. look at the rocket PS, a choke replaces
1k-25w R between the CT and screens. Try it, maybe marshall like.

that is true! if it is an unknown circuit a 10k or what have you jumper is not a bad thing to have. I agree a bleeder should be a standard issue.

make up a jumper with 10k 1-2w resister in serious insulated/heat shrunk with insulated alligator clips. less spark than just a wire.

I believe the term is called "dielectric absorption". I'm pretty sure millivolts won't shock you. I've seen the high voltage oil-run caps with a resistor strapped across the terminals when stored to prevent this.
You can touch the ends of a 9v battery fine..

looks great! is this a new concept you've arrived at?

"Follow valvewizard’s recommendation".
That's the plan. just need to modify my board with an extra eyelet. piece of cake!
thanks again pdf

Nice! that looks cool. is this intended for a combo?
tubes coming out the back.

gotcha- the 5v would be on before the HT-winding.
I left some extra length on my tranny wires,, a good thing.
I'll move it between plate cap and screen.

thanks again pdf

Thanks for your input PDF. From the Valve Wizard site its not recommended to "hot switch" the tube rectifier (still working out values for current limiting resistors). I have the center position of my switch -ac for heaters and lifted ct. top position engages ct. I assume this is not "hot switching"...

I should have mentioned its a cathode bias output.
My PT is 700 ct so a tube rectifier is in order, would that be problematic?
the thing is it's the only switch I have.
plus when you elevate the filaments 6.3 is that a fix bias thing or can it be done with cath. bias output above the cath. voltage?

Hi and thanks for your feedback.
"What are you hoping to accomplish?"
well, i have the hole drilled and switch. carling off-stby-on.
wanted to lift the CT, would this work? or something like the link valve wizard shows.
series resistor on the switch.

Greetings I was wondering want is the best position for the standby switch. 1. after rectifier- before the first filter cap for the plate/ OT. 2. between OT/plate and g2. 3. PT center tap with a full-wave forward rectifier. "3" seems like it may have less stress on the switch but not sure. I've noti...

"SQUIRRELS" as in tree rats? that's not an amp term I'm familiar with..
