Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

And yet ...

at the opposite end of the scale I once tested a 845 filament (on an otherwise dud tube) to destruction. 50V on a 10V filament for an hour did not break it!

I have amps rated at 220V-230V AC input running various tubes with my mains varying from 230-260V and have never had a single filament failure. Admittedly, these days I always use inrush current limiters.

FWIW, I've run Svetlana KT88 filaments happily at 6.8V.
