Re: Fisher X100b schematic wanted

Actually that's a "standard" Fisher trick. The 7868's generate 42v at the cathode, perfect to run a string of 4 x 12v tubes. The tubes see about 10.5v each across the filament, enough to run nicely. Essentially a "free" source of nicely filtered DC.

Also the preamp tubes don't see filament voltage until the 7868's have warmed up - probably a nice slow turn-on feature.

I have the service manual, and can send it as a 395K PDF file or via mail. Contact me privately for a copy.
