All,
I would really like to use a type 83 rectifier tube in my ST35 project...But I have a couple of questions.
First off, I am aware that using the 1/2 wave mercury vapor tubes can add some nastiness (noise) into the circuit. Can the same be said about the 83 ?
Secondly, I know that these sort of things require about 30s of warmup before a load is put on them. Any suggestions on how to go about this ? I suppose a time delay DPDT relay circuit which goes in between the anodes and the transformer would be correct ?
Thanks !
Steve
PS - I stuffed 90% of my board this evening. Awaiting the tube sockets and coupling caps
