Well, it looks like it really is the plate choke. It became obvious with the last test. See https://www.kkn.net/~n2ic/melted_choke.jpg Where do I get a new plate choke, or at least a new delrin form

Steve, most of the problems with the tank circuit is from having the 40-160m L2 toroid burning up.  Ive got an HF2500 in my shop right now with a melted down L2 toroid.  There is a VERY NARROW group

Id think that a pair of 8877's run at 3CX800A7 voltages would be an ideal choice for a reliable amp and a Pi-L included. OTOH, there are very few plain vanilla 800's available at modest cost and the

How about Teflon Ian? Last week I replaced the toroid core and side insulators of my HF amp (40-80-160 m tank coil) for Teflon ones. So far @ 6 kW Dauerstrich it seems to keep up quite well. Cheers,

Might well try Teflon, if I can find some tubing of the right diameter. However, in a few months I may take the whole thing off-line and rebuild it as a Pi-L, which should reduce the working Q and th

Angel, On the antenna side, there's only RF passing by and no DC in the choke to make it saturate easily. The DC current is what makes one saturate easy like in a filter choke in the PS. Even at that

The HF-1250 SHOULD have a grid trip circuit. Check your manual. Most ceramic tube amps running 3CX800 and 8877 tubes will present very high grid current out of tune. The grid current rises VERY quick
