Re: Amplifone DAG spring revisited

You can use a shorter spring, the purpose of the DAG ground/common is to
complete the circuit of the picture tube. The picture tube is essentially a
large capacitor (physically large that is) and the anode cap is the inside
circuit, and the DAG is the outside. So for it to work you have to have
both connected...
