John, There's several thing that could cause no power output from the amp. That zener diode being one which I'd check first. It sets the tubes bias on transmit. No heater voltage. No high voltage wou

Mike, Did the seller say anything that they might be photo-flash capacitors? Photo-flash caps are made to be charged quickly and held for a quick discharge into a flash bulb and not for filtering. Th

Rich, You wouldn't need 10 kV capacitors there as the HV is divided equally across the rectifiers. If there's say 1 kV across each, you can use a 1.5-2 kV ceramic disc capacitor say at .01 uF (10,000

Steve, Cutting the drive back too much will indeed cause a good size mismatch and would need to be fine tuned some. The reason being is when the power drops, the plate impedance changes accordingly.

Guillermo, You'd have to tune it for the most power you could get with a compromise of the cleanest obtainable signal. In other words, you want the cleanest signal you can get, but the most power you

Rich, Your correct! I figured the diodes you were using were series strings as most use. You would need to use something similar to what you have. Good practice is to use a capacitor with a voltage r

Phil, That's true. I have seen some built though that has a low power using 1/2 plate voltage and those pretty much needs to be retuned too. Of course thats changing the plate voltage not power input

Don, You can use an electric space heater too. One like the old "milk-barn" types works well. Just set the transformer up with its layers open to the heater about 6-8 inches away. You may have to tur
