Used one for years for our VHF Contest group and rebuilt it several times.

C5 is a flat copper plate about 10 cm wide and 5 tall. It has flexible brass sheet on each end that wraps back to ground to the aluminum box. The brass is U shaped and acts as a spring to suspend the flat plate. The tube has a copper ring that connects to the anode lines and has another flat sheet of copper soldered to it to make the plate.

I glued teflon sheet (treated to make it glue-able) to the tune and load plates to avoid dramatic events if the tuning every got too aggressive.

Look at http://www.qsl.net/dl4mea/2g35.htm for a similar design using a GS35.
Also look at http://www.nd2x.net/base-1.html for a bunch of designs.

Hello,

Has anyone here ever built such an amp?

I'd like to see pictures of its internals, if possible.
I am not sure how C5 connects to ground, seems like the brass tube would
fit and move directly to a hole in the aluminum chassis?

Here is an AS-47 reprint: http://6mt.com/wpo2kwamp.htm
