Hi the the List,
I just got a very nice Ameritron AL-80A, which seems to be in very nice shape- certainly excellent cosmetically. Unfortunately, the fellow I bought it from neglected to pack the manual with it and I'm expecting it in the mail in a day or two. In the meantime, I'm wondering if anyone can let me know what I should see for high voltage (I'm seeing about 3000-3100 volts, on a 115 volt line) and what the tune up procedure is for this amp. I've had it on for a few hours idling, just in case the tube- an Eimac- might be a bit gassy from lack of use, but haven't put any RF into it, but I'd like to get on line ASAP. Is 3000-3100 volts reasonable for this amp at 115v line voltage? Any assistance any of you can offer will be most appreciated!


Thanks and 73,
Scott, N9AA
