i want to run the 6H30 family of power tubes. what kind of resistors do i need? and where to get them? HELP pleeasssee.
Originally Posted by Penchum /img/forum/go_quote.gif Well, before I did the resistor change for 6H30 family tubes, I was running my MKIII for 8 hours, then a cool down to room temps, then more 8 hour sessions and so on. I did this for at least 1000 hours total. When I took her apart for the mod, I had no signs of heat related problems. I think what we see in the above pics, is all related to running two sets of 6H30's (until dead) without doing the resistor mod. If anyone running the stock power tubes (6H6N family) is worried about heat problems, it is easy to unscrew the back two screws and look at the resistors with a flashlight. The best advice still stands as stated way earlier in this thread; "If you want to move to 6H30 family of power tubes, you MUST do the resistor mod first!" I've been running my "resistor modded" MKIII, using 6H30PI-EH power tubes for at least 750 hours total so far. I have not had any heat related issues so far. The same goes for my MKII modded as well. |
