- I recently got a Drake L-4B amplifier. I've been using (abusing) it a couple of weeks on CW on the high voltage SSB position. Pretty much everybody seems to do this. After all, it's only running 2500

- No hi-pot tester here, but seeing as the valves are somewhat low on emission I might invest in a pair of new ones on my trip to CA next week. They measure OK. The 10 or 14 watt ones commonly availabl

- Thanks for all the help and advice. Although muffin fans on top will help clear hot air out of the case, the off-list consensus is that they won't do much to cool the valve seals. A big muffin fan mi

- Late last year I was complaining that the fan in my L-4B was not keeping the valves within their temperature rating with 50Hz mains, especially on CW at full power. Jason N1SU suggested that I replac
