RE: Thinking about running my non-OTL Circlotron again

You said that there was no "flat spot at the bottom of the curve" and maybe there isn't.

But the lower half of the waveform would have to be truncated at anything above 5 watts for a M-60.

Majorly truncated at 60 watts.

Whether it's flat or rounded makes no real difference.

The main point is that it's not the same shape or size as the top half of the wave form, it can't be without the tube being able to conduct in the negative.

In a real Class A (1 or 2) circuit both halves of the wave form are the same (or very close to it).
