Substitute higher secondary a.c. voltages
#5

Tom

A rectifier that has greater voltage drop is what Terry just suggested - increasing the FC resistance (placing a resistor in series).
Not many other options: using a tube with higher plate resistance won't do much plus it will run hotter. Using a selenium rectifier - like peeing against the wind as everyone is doing the opposite Icon_lol - they are getting bad.
Inserting diodes with resistors - see Terry's suggestion again.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
