Will,
I'm trying to get some idea what your experience is Will,
since it certainly disarees with what I have seen and other
people on this reflector with design experience has seen.
I'm trying to get some idea of why the big diffference if
you have commercial or manufacturing experience with new
product.
Do you have any books besides the first edition of Terman?
His first edition was greatly improved on in later edtions,
and Terman isn't exactly a good tube-specific reference
becuase he sort of skims through tubes very and tube
circuits quickly. What books did you use at work?
What is your experience with amps? Who did you work for?
What type of amps were they? How often do you use amps on
the air? What is your callsign? (QRZ shows nothing)? Did
your company do its own service? Millitary or commercial or
amateur?

You're welcome to an opinion, just like everyone else, but a
while ago you agreed the grid fuse does no good. What's all
this "tink" stuff? Do you really think Eimac and everyone
else is wrong?
