Hi All, I am new both to this list and to HF amps, so go easy on me please! I have acquired a 1960's vintage Swan Mark I amplifier. The amp was extensively modified prior to the mid-1970's including

Joe, that sounds extremely modified! Glen, K9STH is a competent technician and I would trust his work, but if he bought the amp already modified and didn't personally use it, then who knows-? Did Gle

Joe, One thing I would do before firing up that Swan Amp is to go back to this reflector's archives to about May or June and read the 5,433 e-mails on the subject of using 4-400s in a Swan amp instea

Hi Joe, It looks like an experimenter's paradise in there. I see connections and wires going nowhere -- assume these are rendered superfluous by new and added circuitry-? The high-Q parasitic suppres

The wire is in the process of being replaced--which is why it is dangling. Tuned input? OK, what if I left my AT-150 auto-antenna tuner between the HF rig and the input to the amp? Joe

The autotuner in series with the amp input makes sense, and is what most people do if they haven't added a bandswitching tuned input circuit. Is there some cathode biasing in there somewhere? "If eve

I have been removing various 'unused' circuitry, there is more to go. Anyway, I am talking with all of you 'experts' in an attempt to avoid doing something stupid. For example, someone noted the 'dan

Joe, why just the "center conductor" from a piece of RG8? Why not the coax, itself, using the shield also, and grounding the shield at both ends? On 80m, it doesn't make much difference, but on 10m,

Guillermo, A very good question my friend. I have no idea. I don't even know if it is original or one of the many modifications that have been made to this amp. Perhaps one of the more knowledgeable
