Default Re: The "Sussex" Homebrew Valve Tester.

Hi
This is a question about the layout and use of switches.
Rather than switches for the selection of electrodes etc. I was intending to use a patch bay so I could use a short banana plug patch lead to connect supply to electrode. By using this |I thought that if needed I could also insert additional components.
Have members any advice or comments about this.

I notice from various posts that the inclusion of ferrite beads on the cables to the valve sockets. Does this mean that there could be problems with "RF noise" being picked up. Is the length of wiring between selector switches/patch bay and the sockets critical for the same reason, will this influence the results of the valve test.

I may have to completely redesign my layout as I have the valve sockets some way from the patch bay.
thanks
Mike
