In Reply to: RE: if I measure the voltage drop across the cathode bias... posted by Jim McShane on July 29, 2014 at 14:18:49:
thanks, Jim, I took another look under the hood, there is a large 33 ohm resistor connected from pin 6 to joint pins 1 & 8, pin 6 is grounded to the pcb which is also grounded to the ground connection on the separate bias board. The bias board has a wire connected to the joined pin 1 & 8, the bias board has a multi-turn trim pot that is used to set the bias (1.15v) I am a bit confused by this arrangement, rather than a large bias pot, like the Cit II has, there is this little trimpot, probably a 1/2 watt max, to set the bias with, and it appears to be in parallel with the large 33 ohm cathode resistor on joined pin 1 & 8, any idea?
