    Ah, how about an EHT rectifier - you could get a serious spark (and belt) off these!

    DY802
    "The DY802 is an EHT rectifier and was not listed in the 1960s although one would expect it to be for monochrome Tv service. The other potential use is in instrumentation such as oscilloscopes.

    The shield cup below the anode is to provide the maximum protection from x-ray emission."

    Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

      On the early valve colour TV's, the EHT (25KV) stack was sheilded with a metal case and stories were told of the effects it could have on your TV engineer if the set was run with this removed

        But not as bad as a modern mobile phone mast, of course.



        (The local church had one put up on the top of their tower and in return got the steps and roof fixed. The local MP and local MEP both got involved in the campaign to get it removed. Perhaps their brains were damaged by playing with the back of their telly when young!)

          A mate of mine still works for a semiconductor company based in Chadderton near Oldham. Mainly amplifier chips for LNBs etc.
