- I don't think they are direct replacements. IIRC the screen voltage is different, though perhaps not so drastically so that your could not use the same screen voltage. The filament of the 4CX1500B ne

- David is right. 4CX1500B seems to be just 4CX1000A with declared 500W extra dissipation at the expense of the air flow. The grid and screen however are same - very fragile. That's why it can't produc

- The 4CX1500B is a direct replacement in a Collins 30S1 without any changes OR the increased screen voltage mod can be done for more power. Idle current bias needs a tweak and a heat extractor is a go

- That less output is caused by the load line used with Eimacs specification which is more A then AB1 resulting in lower efficiency and lower intermodulation distortion. The 4CX1500B however can be dri

- But also a different anode cooler with a genuinely higher dissipation. That's right. The 1500B would produce as much output as the 1000A if Eimac had chosen to specify different operating conditions.
