Bill, in that same article, the bandswitch of the SB-221 (pi net output
section) had a floating rotor connection -- the bandswitch as shown wouldn't
do anything. I remember spotting that when I glanced at the article and
started chuckling...

Subject: [Amps] QST
I am becoming more and more disgusted with the lack of technical
knowledge QST authors. A fine example is the article about reviving old
linear amplifiers in the most recent QST. There is a schematic and
description of a half-wave voltage doubler which is claimed to have been
used on many older amplifiers. But, everyone that I have seen uses
full-wave voltage doublers. The only half-wave voltage doublers I have seen
are usually in TV sets and other tube equipment that operated off the power
line with out a transformer.
