Terry, Ok What I understand is The Grids of the 6af6 take anywhere between 80-160 Volts to close. With I assume 160 volts fully closed. Which kind of makes since .. with No signal pin 3 reads 78.7 volts. Or fully open since it takes 80 volts to start to close. But I cannot seem to get anywhere near 160 volts. The strongest signal I can find is only 146 volts.. Maybe there is a way to make this more sensitive?
Ps I did notice that on the plate I was getting 273 volts The range for the tube is 125-250 volts..
My B+ is higher to. according to paper work it should be 382 volts I get 392 Volts..
My field coil should be 1050 Ohms Mine measured 808 Ohms Thats probably why the B+ is a little higher..
Should I try to lower the voltage to the plate of the 6AF6 ? Maybe that would make it work better?
