Default Re: My first valve radio project - Philips 462A

Damn - just as we are getting to the fun bit Christmas gets in the way! I'm off to my brothers today so no more testing for a day.... however I have quickly sneaked in a couple of tests before I go...

Input mains is 210V AC (not 85 V)

Resistance between pins 2 and 8 is 2 ohms.

There is 2V AC across pins 2 and 8 (AZ31 removed and set switched on) and also 2V AC across pins 2 and 8 when AZ31 replaced.

My lamp limiter bulb is only 42W - all that I had to hand.
