Default Re: Pye VT2 EHT problems

Hi,

Yes the top cap leads are correct, did get me thinking for a moment however.
I've disconnected the scan coils today and still no EHT improvements.

I've removed the lopt and what I propose to do now is leave it somewhere quite warm for a few weeks in the hope that the saturation problem is causing the low EHT. Its baking up quite nicely in the conservatory as I write this (finally a bit of sunshine in Portsmouth today!)

I'll also advertise for a replacement in the hope that someone may have a good one hidden away. Failing all that I may think about removing the EHT overwind and experimenting with a tripler, but this will be last resort stuff as I'm not too sure how to go about this.

Thanks again for all your time and help, its been a couple of years since I've attempted a set from this era and as I'm only 33 years old I still have plenty to learn!

All the best
Matt
