Preferably ceramic/porcelin or bakelite base. The one I have is made by Bryant Electric, part #G-5206. The ceramic base is about 1" in diameter with two screw type terminals ond two mounting holes. I'd like to find about 4-6 of them for a project. Anybody hoarding any out there in a dusty corner of the junk box? 73, E. V.

I am now wiring up the grids. I'm going to try a pi network in the output. The rest of the circuit will be like on the 1936 QST back cover. Thanks Ken, W7EKB for a copy of the circuit diagram! I am learning alot about tube oscillators. This is called a grid - plate oscillator design. I'm expecting about 100 watts output if the crystal will take it. Hummmm maybe I could PARALLEL two 3.579 crystals. I have never heard one of these on the air. Have you? Hope it works. If it does, what shall I call her? "Rock Crusher" ? ha Best regards, Jack W7QQQ

Only if you let the grid current run too high, he he! **************************************************** *** 73 from Radio AF4K/G3XLQ Gaithersburg, MD USA * ** E-mail to: bry@mnsinc.com * *** ICQ: 3910641 *** ** http://www.mnsinc.com/bry/ * **************************************************** AM International #1024, TENTEN #13582.

It occurs to me that these brutes that have been used typically in voltage regulator circuits in Tektronix scopes, etc., are perfect fodder for a husky Hartley, ECO, TNT, or whatever. Anyone have any experience with these in that sort of circuit? Any particular caveats? Rod, N5HV w5hvv@aeneas.net
