[ARC5] [Milsurplus] GO-9: Cathode Mod Questions

[Roy Morgan]

Ken and others,

I remember cathode modulators made with the series pass regulator tubes 6AS7, 6080, and possibly their BIG Brothers, the ones with carbon plate structures.

I have not looked at all the links so kindly posted, but if one or more of them shows use of such tubes, I won’t be surprised.

I have a GO-9, so I am quite interested in all this.  Hoping one day to replace the PP-4763 that was lost in “the disaster” some time ago.

Roy
