Which edition? In the 650 the 42s are triode-connected in a push-pull amp, and the load impedance also depends upon bias - in the 650 they have fixed bias. See RC-13 p. 129. It is the only RC edition with full characteristics for the 42. RC-11 and RC-12 have only partial characteristics. From RC-14 on you have to look at the 6F6, which has the same electrical characteristics as the 42 and the 2A5.

It's not like we are good friends with that wire and can tell it from other ptetty identical looking wires.

I'm not sure why that wire wasn't covered in the video. I'm pretty sure the 6A8 won't work until that pin is grounded. Y...RodB — 09:47 PM |

You'll have to forgive me, I am not sure what you mean. Can you explain what you are really saying. If anyone does not...georgetownjohn — 08:05 PM |

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM |

Maybe this is starting to make some sense in my hard head. Is this why the wire in question was not in the great Ron Ra...georgetownjohn — 04:34 PM |

I was correct with the 6A8 pin connection's, 7 and 8 are connected to ground as well as the tube shield (the broken line...RodB — 02:41 PM |
