Allan;  Tubes were pulsed long before solid state was our way of life. Tubes
are higher resistance and will heat up, but for high voltage, tubes are
still the master. Ihave used 3kv SCR's at 4ooA, but above 3 kv tubes are
still the boss.As for "LEAD BVD's if we were conserned we wouldnt play with
a TC.
