Notes on a SF Champ

8/31/1999 5:28 PM
Mook	Notes on a SF Champ I just measured my friend's SF Champ. How's this for "running over" maximum values: PV = 391 CV = 26 So, the voltage is (391-26) or 365 Volts. The bias was measured at 57 mA with a BiasProbe. So, can we correctly say the Dissapation Watts as 20.81 (.057*365)?????? Wow, can a single 6V6 dissapate almost 21 watts?? I know the SF series was infamous for high voltages, but isn't this a bit "silly"?? Mook

Notes on a SF Champ

I just measured my friend's SF Champ. How's this for "running over" maximum values:

PV = 391

CV = 26

So, the voltage is (391-26) or 365 Volts. The bias was measured at 57 mA with a

BiasProbe.

So, can we correctly say the Dissapation Watts as 20.81 (.057*365)??????

Wow, can a single 6V6 dissapate almost 21 watts??

I know the SF series was infamous for high voltages,

but isn't this a bit "silly"??
