Re: 813 tube tc coil
Hello, with two 803's I obtained 7 inch (17.8 cm) discharge. The 813's are
very similar, IIRC, graphite plates and all, only that the 803=2000V on the
plate; 813=2500V (RATED). So with a pair of 813's you should be able to see
18 cm+ discharge in a tube coil. I would suggest tying the grid, screen,
etc together pretending they were a triode. That was most successful for me
with the 803's, did run them as a pentode, but was only able to get 5 inch
(~13cm) discharge. You can see the 803 in action on my web site, if you
care. Also I am going to be placing design schematics for the 803 at my
website, eventually... But if you are interested in specifics let me know
via e-mail or this list-server. I suspect binaries are no longer
transferred via list-server? So if you want my schematic for the 803 coil I
will send it off-list.
