Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

RE: another pic




It's hard to tell from the pictures.

You said "I went back and wired the heaters per schematic, high side to .68 ohms to pin 7 of one tube. I wired from pin 7 to other .68 ohm and left the resister to pin 2 of other 6550."

This is a little confusing. forget about pin 2 and pin 7 being swapped. You can swap them or not.

The bottom line is, one filament of one 6550 should be connected to the filament winding through a .68 ohm resistor. The other filament of the other 6550 should also be connected to the filament winding through a .68 ohm resistor with nothing in series.

pay no attention to the type of tube in the drawing. That's the only tube symbol of a tube that showed the heater connections I could find.

If it doesn't work with one side grounded then you have a shorted (to ground) heater winding.
