Matt: I live in a small town known only as the starting point of the dust
bowl. Radio shack is a 120 mile trip.I get old microwaves when I go to dump
trash and at good will. A diode bridge will drop 6v to 5v for fillaments as
each diode drops o.75v The tube dosent care if it is AC or DC, It only wants
amps and 5v.
