The thing is you can't take the measurements to bias it until it is on and warmed up with the power tubes in there so there isn't any way to know ahead of time exactly how hot they'll be running. Just good guidelines. Biasing the amp so they run correctly is particular to the specific build and less so the specific tubes - for a cathode biased amp like this that means changing that resistor anywhere from 150-220 ohms (higher values will run cooler). Basically you are just trying to get it so the amp isn't asking the power tube for more watts than it can maintain. Once it is dialed in you can generally just swap any power tube (for cathode biased) vs. having to re-bias for many other styles. Just sucks I started in the middle of that range supposedly given the marked value of 180ohms but was actually off the bottom end (assuming my meter is working correctly) at 130 ohms. Kind of like having to run through x rounds to break in a gun or whatever. The tubes are just consumables. Wish I had had some junky modern ones for testing though. |

I think I'm starting to get in the groove of not going to work. It's weird though. Lol I've been keeping a little bit busy with organizing things in the truck and trailer (I actually installed the toolbox in the bed yesterday so it's not held in with ratchet straps anymore) and helping out with what I can around our friends place. Today I got up and got dressed only to sit back down and watch transformers and the fifth element. Lol
I think I might be able to sew this sheath up while we're here though. I'm looking forward to actually carrying this one.  Attached FileI think I'm going to grab some leather tools and maybe my manual sewing machine and some nylon stuff to play with on our way back through the old home area to the next destination. |
