Once again, to correct .... shall we say "wishful inaccuracies".
I don't mind taking a poke from time to time, considering the source, but I
won't stand by for lies.

Over 40,000. Source would have to be Henry. I don't really know how many are
ham. I can guarantee it's many thousands. They have been making amplifiers
for hams and everyone else since 1962. Same ownership, all hams.
Henry has NOT been eliminated from medical amps. It is mentioned like some
sort of worldwide ban. Again, more anal rententive blather.

I thought it was claimed transformers were the "bad" thing? Are we back to
green Moss growing only on Henry roller coils again?

Because it is recognized the Henry RF decks can handle way more than they
are being asked to in normal operation. People see that they have plenty of
capacity for more power and therefore want an even bigger power supply.

For the reverse reason. Toy tubes and/or parts made at best for just what is
specified. No extra capacity here.

Carl, It seems to please you to refer to me this way even though you know
nothing of my experience or expertise.
