In Reply to: Bringing it up with a 5AR4 wont get you there. posted by viridian on May 26, 2022 at 09:06:16:
I have a tube base with a couple 1KV rectifier diodes wired for 5AR4/5R4 testing. Don't risk that nice Mullard 5AR4 in an unknown circuit. As you raise the Variac, the 5AR4 will conduct suddenly and without much warning. If there's a bad cap or other component, the tube can be damaged before you have a chance to remove voltage.
