    Need some help with a tv

    Its been a lonng time since I posted here last, anyways I have an old rca tube TV. More specifically an rca truflat crt. I started it up today and it displayed static and warmed up like normal but then it shut off and started making a chirping noise. Almost sound like the flyback is trying to...

    Advice on vacuum tube tesla coil?

    I have returned lol. Anyways I've been wanting to build myself a vacuum tube tesla coil, more specifically a high frequency vttc kinda like the on that the youtube styropyro built. I came across these two 100TH like vacuum tubes with a maximum power dissipation of about 250 watts at 3000 volts...

    Ideas for a tesla coil

    I only have a one-phase mercury rectifier. I think it's an ignitron type with a filament so it wouldn't need a reignition voltage if I just keep the heater filament on, right?

    Yeah he is lol, I'm out here trying to That's what I was thinking of doing

    Confused with tube radio

    Thanks. Mist of that schematic looks pretty similar to my radio but there is also definitely a c+/c- voltage terminal. (Completely separate from the 22 volt terminal)

    Confused with tube radio

    It needs three separate voltages for grid, heater and the b+

    Ideas for a tesla coil

    It's about that time of year where my parts cabinet is overflowing with junk again, and I want to make another tesla coil with the stuff I have on hand. I already have the coil and matching caps and the transformer but I don't have any diodes.(I do have a surplus of mercury arc rectifiers...

    Confused with tube radio

    I acquired a fada neutrodyne 175 a battery powered tube set at a flea market and noticed that it has three tuning dials. Got a few questions. How do you tune this set? Whats the easiest way to power this thing? (I know it needs all three voltages a,b,c.) Never worked on battery powered tube...

    Can someone help me identify this electronic component

    I assume you mean the yellow thing. It looks like a small button battery (maybe a cr2032) wrapped in yellow insulation.

    Need some help with an oscillator circuit idea.

    I didn't even think of driving the transistor off of the neon bulb. I guess that will work and be easier than messing around with relays.

    Need some help with an oscillator circuit idea.

    How is my entire premise wrong exactly? I have a bunch of old parts and I like to build stuff the old fashioned way even if it isn't the most efficient way of doing things. I also wanted to use a neon bulb because I have a bunch of them and I think it kinda looks cool.

    Need some help with an oscillator circuit idea.

    I'm aware I could just make a neon oscillator without the relay but I was hoping to use a dual switch relay to switch a slightly bigger load than what the neon circuit alone could handle

    Need some help with an oscillator circuit idea.

    I'm not sure entirely, I figure for a more reliable oscillator shorting the cap would be the best option

    Need some help with an oscillator circuit idea.

    It would but only to a certain point (I think), I think fully discharging the capacitor is more reliable
