Backstory; just finished another LA2A and everything seems kosher, except the heaters are just north of 7v (instead of 6.3). I've read that one of the best ways to adjust this is to run 3amp silicon diodes in series to get a .7v drop but everything I've read is a passing mention and I'd really like to get a better understanding before going forward. Would it look like this on each of the heater wires:
PT-----Diode->|--------parallel tubes
Feels like something is missing but I don't know, hence my asking.
I also have an artificial CT using resistors, would the diodes go before or after that. And, can you recommend a specific diode for this application?
Thanks in advance!
