The old B+ trick

[Roff]

And i have no idea what "the old B+ trick" is either.

Perhaps it's a cryptic term that you cleverly coin while toking up?

On edit: refering to another of Nigels posts, these are probably American terms. In the UK I think we just used LT, HT and GB to refer to the three supplies.

That sounds far more familiar!

It's like Halloween haven a bunch of kids rollup on your door you never know what you gonna get.

Happy patties day !

(? What if you mix Saint pat day with Holloween ? )

Sounds really evil.

Sorry Nigal I couldn't resist. I'm just teased to deviation.

How about the old black and white tv with a dim negative picture,
1) ground the tube cathode
2) connect a 15w pygmy bulb between B+ and tube grid, until you see pretty fireworks inside the tube neck
3) remove bulb and ground link.

Much of the time, you would get a useable picture, often for as long as a year. Sometimes you'd get nothing, having taken all the cathode coating off, but then, the tube was shot,anyway.

I wish you had a recording cause I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it.

I'm not sure if the camera would even survive !

We need to just let this thread die, just like the set. Get on with the show !
