Supposedly its putting out 3000w and he's putting 200w into a 3cx1500 :oops: When he hits the foot switch right at the starting point I indexed the video at 32:31, with no drive, the grid current goes...

    AL1200 Bias voltage

    Does anyone know what the bias voltage should be? I get 125ma on ssb mode, I think it should be 150ma and my trapezoid of the signal has a slight sag in it which is not enough bias. I measured the DCV on the zenners and get around 5.7v. I'm not sure where to take the measurement and the...

    AL1200 RECAP: Any opinions on ohmite wirewound resistors for HV bleeders?

    I'm recapping my AL1200 and I checked the resistors and they are all 49.xx Kohms and within .5 of an ohm. 2 look like they got a bit hot as the lettering is faded. I planned on replacing them and since they are wirewound, I got new wirewounds but 10w instead of 7w I was just wondering before I...

    What tube numbers are ok to run in the socket with NO HIGH VOLTAGE

    I was just curious if we could get a list from 6JE6 6LF6 to 3-500Z and 3CX3000A7 of what tubes you can run in the socket with no HV connected and not hurt the cathode. thanks!

    Kenwood TS890 Clock keeps resetting after brief power outage

    It has a battery but I tested it and its good and the radio is only a year old. I use a Samlex 1223 to power it. It only does this when the radio is on and the power goes off for about 10 seconds. Is something trying to run the radio off the clock battery? For $5000CAD I'd think this kinda shit...
