B+ for Loop

Post by gary sanders »

My 124ish build needs a loop buffer but I didnt plan on it when I built it,well I guess i sort of did by adding an extra tube for a reverb hopeful but now I want to use it for a D-lator type loop,SO.. was wondering if it would be ok run off a B+ already there without having to rebuild the power board.

Yes, I believe guys take it off of the screen node.
Probably best to de-couple it with another resistor to drop some volts for the loop.

If I recall, you want about 340v for the B+1 and 280v for B+2 on the loop.
