G'evenng... Using 4CX type tubes.. I've had a short in the and its built in
bypass cap/ screen ring to chassis in a Eimac socket.
While waiting for a replacement in this HF amp, is there any problem using
the socket WITHOUT the ring but using an external bypass capacitor from
the screen pin#1 to chassis?
I appreciate optimum bypassing of screen in VHf and UHF use but is it
strictly necessary in HF. I am aware of reverse screen current but that's a
different animal.
