Why plate degeneration in a cathode follower?

The "X" indicates where i broke a connection, the arrows show a new connection (eg: move grid resistor from ground to cathode), and adding the jumpers put across the 10K plate degeneration resistors.

Lastly, the arrows show that the wire from the sine/square/pulse switch was moved from the divider to the (other) plate. Maybe i should experiment trying V5A instead of V5B plate for even greater overdrive (level was 6Vpk-pk now 30Vpk-pk; cold be 65Vpk-pk if used V5A). PS: Sorry i forgot how the Abbott & Costello joke went..

Maybe, but having a signal generator with sine output FIVE TIMES LESS in amplitude WRT other waveform output selections just ain't kosher. The CFs do not run any harder than before, the V5A bypass gives more drive for a better square / "pulse" waveform and has little effect on the oscillator; V5A is nowhere near to grid or plate glow..

Maybe we could start by defining WHAT is it supposed to do? .... spelling out GOZINTA/GOZOUTA.

For anybody that is interested:

First find of course.

?-)

It's better acted out.

Joerg needs GOZBANG, as well.

Perhaps! I think he already covers that with GOZFLOP >:-}

GOZINTA, GOZOUTA and GOZBI are actually my "port" symbols, more compact than those provided with PSpice, and with easier to remember names ;-) ...Jim Thompson

You stole GOZINTA from Jethtro Bodine. :)

At least you ain't tryin to be no double naught spy. :)

Sorry, i do not live in the PLAINs area of the US; i live in WA. Itza signal generator; selectable output sine, square, pulse.

Well? Describe how it's supposed to work... this switch position does this, etc., and the output is WHERE? ...Jim Thompson

The OP could start by restoring the switch labels (and tube envelopes) in the schematic.

I give up; if you cannot read a schematic..

Knock off the horse-s*it...I cannot read schematic.

If you want help, ask nicely >:-} ...Jim Thompson

Someone else designs his electronics. :)

Wasn't The Who on first and Jimi Hendrix on third?
