The damper diodes plus some 6AX4GTBs also arrived today...

Amateur.

My main hobby used to be serious HV (Tesla Coils, EM can-crushers, Jacob's Ladders, big CW multipliers, Marx generators etc.). 3kV wouldn't even get you past the entrance.

I started getting worried when we crept past 500kV on one TC.

Anything RF plus BIG voltages & currents is scary. Valve amps are much "safer", insofar as they can still kill you (admittedly), but not quite so explosively :shock:
:thumbup: Respect,
