VR setting for SBM-20

Post by bratan »

What's the best VR setting for SBM-20 tube? :) I followed tutorial, but it's kind of beeps even at the lowest setting. From what I understand VR1 sets high voltage, but I currently don't have gigaohm resistors on hand to measure it...

This is normal - Set it just short of mid-way (about 11 o'clock) and you should be fine.
