Tom, Thanks for the very level headed answer. Without knowing all the facts it is very easy to come to the wrong conclusion as many do. There are too many 'arm chair quarterbacks' on this and other r

Fred Hammond built amps before Viewstar. I dont remember the model but, George, VE3FXT, took one to Fiji in 1983. It was a single tube 3-500Z. It sure ran hot; we had the case off, not the cover, to

Doug, I really hope you are not (but I think you are) implying that I am not level headed as I have been very careful about my wording about MFJ (Ameritron) but I guess it doesn't matter any more so

Isn't that about 25 years before 3-500Z was introduced? In the 40s they were making lots of devices running high power at high VHF/low UHF so they must have had good enough glass. I think 3-500Z was

Please ignore my previous post - just realised I misinterpreted Rich's reply. I still don't believe in glass that's ok at 30MHz but duff at 100odd though. Steve ______________________________________

We can read it, but we should be aware it isn't correct. I'm not sure if MFJ is buying 2000 hour MTBF caps or not, but the 2000 hour number is NOT the expected mean time hours before failure in oper

I agree on the QSK-5, excellent product... While 3 Ameritron amps I've had all had some parasitic problems, (that were easily remedied) the worst problem I've had with the QSK-5 was a blown lamp fuse

Rich asked: "So why didn't the entire envelope melt, Mr. Rauch?" A hole lets the imprisoned vacuum out. Strangely, at that point, the heat goes away also. That stops the meltdown. Sort of like a fuse

Rich, I wish my buddy's Ameritron and my own first Ameritron had caps that were working until we were 6ft under. In my buddy's case, the caps failed 4 times before the factory got it working again be

Pretty close, Steve. The 15E was developed by Eimac in 1940 for use in the AN/APS-18 radar set. Agreed, but the Chinese apparently had no knowledge of how to make low D-factor glass, so it took some

The factory should have been smart enough to tell your buddy to check the resistors first Mike. That's their fault. The best capacitor in the world would have failed the same way with bad resistors.

Sounds very complicated. A bit of reactance in the load line is all that's needed to get dissipation up. Given that the circuit has to come up with 360deg of phase shift somewhere in order to oscilla
