This model of Yellow Jackets® converter, the YJR, is an adapter for use in most amplifiers which use 5AR4, 5U4, or 5Y3 tubes or other similar tubes. This Yellow Jacket® is a solid state device and as such does not come with vacuum tubes.
- Converts most audio amplifiers which use a vacuum tube rectifier 5AR4, 5U4 or 5Y3 to a solid state device.
- One year limited warranty on converter.
- Safe for all common amplifiers and transformers.
NOTE! Because there is no warm up of a rectifier tube when using this solid state device, it is critical that a standby switch is used that will allow the power tube filaments to warm up and generate an electron "cloud" around the cathode before high voltage is applied. This will prevent "cathode stripping" in the power tubes. It is a good idea to use a standby switch when using vacuum tube rectification, but it is critical when using solid state rectification.
