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.
