[NJARC] Voltage Drop, Ham Radio...

[Scott Roberts]

Well, I am very close to getting my Hallicrafters HT-37 on the air. Great Thanks to John Ruccolo for getting together with me after the swapmeet Saturday at InfoAge(Great Swapmeet!) and going through the HT-37. We got it to a decent point where it was showing great signs of life, especially after some tube replacement(Thanks to Al Klase for locating a few tubes for us)

It now looks like I should be on HF this week.

Voltage Dropping Question- In order to use the HF sets, I need to get my vacuum tube Dow-Key powered. It takes 90-120VDC & 6VDC. I would like to pull the power from the receiver- it has a 150VDC available, and so i need to know how to drop it to 110-120 or so... I know I can add a couple power resistors, but not sure how much. Can anyone give me any ideas? 

I am still lousy at these calculations still... On of these days!

Thanks!
Scott
