[Boatanchors] Globe HG-303 Idling Current

[Jerry]

Hi Glen,
 
Bill was helping me out with my HG-303 and I am running about 50ma to his
40ma plate idle current with KeyUp.  I have also had great advice from Greg
AA8V, who pointed out to me that with the screen resistor =33K at 600V B+,
that about 18 mA of this plate current is cathode current which is where the
metering occurs.  Still the radio runs about 13W of heat in idle with 40ma.
I have the HG-303 working otherwise pretty well now and have turned to the
matching V-10 VFO.  After replacing the seleniums I am not able to get the
OA2 to light up and regulate but I will dig some more on my own before
posting for any advice.  Its probably the supply lytics need replacement.
