Yes the 500 always used the 20LF6 (2x5), although we only used the tall envelope design which was a proprietary tube. If it didn't have the "Kenrich" logo then it wasn't gonna work to specs. You could always tell when a user was on the air with a Kenrich Amp, one of the most distinct sounds...

Unless one of Ken's kids has a schematic I am not aware of ANY that were publicly released. The only other possibility would be the original engineer who designed for Kenrich, his name is Lon Cecil and the last I heard he was running for governor of NC back in 2016

Ken passed September 5, 1998 Heart attack (Seems that the Wellers got the best of him)

The Capitol Electronics building was sold to Patrick Swayze's mothers dance company, he showed up there for part of the opening. The owner (Bob T.) semi retired and moved down to Texhoma area. The owner of Kenrich (Ken W) passed away in 1998. A lot of fond memories from those days of Kenrich...

It was in Warr Acres, OK (suburb of OKC)

Not related to the Golden Eagle. My favorite memory about those amps was listening to radio traffic at home and hearing someone key up with that fan in the background, the most distinguishable sound in those days was that fan :~) I melted a wedding ring all the way to the bone into my finger...

David, 5636 NW Expy. I was there 1979-1992 I was the test & repair tech. Still have all the original full size schematics on all the Eagle Amps. .

The Eagle VIII was the last of the Eagle era, there weren't a lot of them made, it was more of a test run. At the time that design was finalized the federal government made us an offer we couldn't refuse, we could prove it was a legal transmitter BUT tying us up in court for the next 5+ years...

This is wonderful seeing all these comments and pictures. I worked for Kenrich Electronics for many years, my job was final testing and repair of the entire line of Eagle transmitters. For the record, that 120pf 1kv (for 15meter use) cap was cut out in the 10meter conversion (where this one is...

I worked for Kenrich Electronics for many years, my job was final testing and repair of the entire line of Eagle transmitters. I have all the original schematics and modification data as well as a case of original Kenrich (logo) 20LF6 tubes, our tubes were made with a taller & stouter envelope.
