The RCA modification to the power supply in the SRR-11/12/13
receivers did away with the ballast tube which was being used
to regulate the oscillator filament voltage, and substituted a
resistor and a pair of back-to-back Zeners. The output waveform
is a clipped sine-wave and regulation is very good, the amount
of clipping varying with input voltage to the Zeners.
