Admiral 19A12 High Voltage Issue

[Scott G]

Thank you for the excellent clarification! After I read your explanation, it made perfect sense. Still learning - thanks for the patience:-).

With the diodes installed I'm now getting 5.4kV HV which should be plenty, but I'm a bit concerned that the B+ is now 280V (pin 8). Rider's list the B+ at 255. My line voltage on my variac is set to 117V.

The image is getting more stable, but I can't seem to eliminate the "dual" image (side by side picture). Now that I have a workable HV, I can narrow that down I'm sure.

Thanks so much!!!

Scott
