I wasn't in on earlier communications in this thread, but I can say one
thing first hand. I had a persnickity AL-80 that was taking off with a
loud firecracker "BANG" about every tenth time I hit the mic key...
For a while I thought it was arching in the plate condenser. (I didn't
know much then) Then one day I happened to be looking at the grid
current meter as it went off. It slammed so hard against the pin I was
surprised it was surviving these attacks. So I dug in to the problem
and heard about the Measures suppressor kit. I spent the $7 or $8 (at
the time) and put it in. Since that very day it has been rock stable
and never uttered a pop.
It would be most informative and interesting if you could measure the
resistance of the old suppressor resistors you took out.
