[TCML] 833A VTTC Novice



Thanks to everyone for responding to my inquiry re (2)833A Vttc Specs.
I am gathering parts for an initial hash up, and I have a few
questions. Two 833As require 20 amps @ 10 volts.
 I have rewound a MOT to serve as the filiment transformer, the output
is 10.55 volts @123 volts in ( I have Variacs ). I tested using the
series resistance of x00 feet of
#14 awg wire, @19 amp current draw the voltage drop is .2 volt.

1  Is this voltage drop excessive, should I remove the shunts?

2  How long should the tubes burn in, and do I simply power up the
filiment supply and let them cook?

3  Should I scrap the MOT ( unbalanced ) as filiment transformer idea?

Thanks    William A Tickhill
