Re: Vacuum Tubes



Reinhard,

The 304TL is a strange animal, filament-wise.  There are actually two
filaments in each tube.  These filaments are five volt filaments.  You can
hook the two sets up in parallel, and the tube will draw 5 v at 25 amps. 
You can also hook them up in series, and use a 10 v 12.5 amp transformer. 
Those are usually more available than the 5 v 25 amp variety.

I'm not quarreling with your logic:  it's the peculiar nature of the dual
filaments in the 304 that is the problem.
