Compressor
#6
Hi Kevin,

Thanks a lot, man!
The other schematic was a bit muddy but this one is very clear!
What did you do to it?

I see that two obsolete pieces are requiered: the T4A and the T4A/B.
The T4B I have seen on a site, they made it like the original.

There is no stand-off for the heaters, I read about heaters with a CT, is no stand-off necessary then? Hum is balanced or so?

A special feature of the Altec 436/8 is that there are no controls.
In your design there is a control at the voltage divider, did the Atec folks not want that?

Aha, a double diode it is!
Which one could I use? The 6AL5 is long retired like you said.
I have been looking for "double diode tube" but all I get is radio museums haha.

Oh wait there is a 6G2 on sale for a low price.
