Thanks to W8JI, KM1H and Lou for the help.
OK still can't properly load the AL82.
Both tubes look red hot.
The tubes should not really get too red if the amp is loaded right. I am
wondering, The AL-82 has vernier dials, Could it be that it is slipping and
the load control is not really working? Also on one of those amps I had a
problem, at one time Ameritron had a plastic sleeve on the load control that
went to the vernier, the plastic was stripped and I had to doctor it up to get
it to work. Maybe you need to look at the action of the load control variable
cap as you turn the dial and see what is happening. What is the history of
the amp? Are the tubes of unknown condition to you? Lou
