Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

Re: Ah, that's more interesting, then.

I'm yet more seat of the pants and ignore the FET's internal resistance. 260 V./150 KOhms = 1.7 mA. That's SAFE. A 1 W. part will do, as long as air flow is decent and air flow is also needed for the FET.

Keen's remark about the little FET being a good replacement for a 'X7 CF hits the target. The FET's transconductance (gfs) is nearly proportional to Id. If gfs is about 1.7 mA./V., the O/P impedance is under 1 KOhm. That's certainly adequate to drive a 50 KOhm pot. on the same chassis.

BTW, 510 Ohms or 1 K is what I'd use as the stopper value. Caution on my part.
