They sure do...I've just rebuilt the Power Supply of my 2500, added inrush
protection and would suggest anyone with a 2500 does the same. Its working very
well now !

If the bandswitch moves to the 10M position then you only have to
connect a #14 or #12 wire from the switch to the airwound coil at 3/12
turns from the end. This is at the bottom of the coil and inline with
the 15M tap. Make sure you get a good solder flow on the coil
especially, many irons and small guns arent up to the task.
Do not use on 12M unless you remove 3-4 turns from the plate choke.
If you intend to use on 80/160 then add a .0047 or .01 @ 3KV disc cap at
the base of that choke. Mouser carries these. Dentrons are notorious for
blowing the PS and with only 500pf for a bypass RF gets into the
electrolytics and they get a bit upset.
