2100 is about right in standby on CW while 2600-2700 is fine on SSB.

I hope its just out of tolerance metering resistors and not the filter caps 
loading it down with high leakage.

        Thanks Carl, well, only driving it with about 75 watts, wont go over 
that with my 746PRO to keep it happy...and not trying to sqeeze every last watt 
out either, like some folks.. ;)   When I rebuilt the power supply, could have 
redone that voltage doubler circuit, since it uses the same transformer at the 
Clipperton L, but didnt want to push the 572B's either, 2100 volts at idle now. 
So will just be careful and tune very slowly on the Tune knob, hate to write in 
tune positions but maybe stick some colorful tape on the exact loading 
spots..hi hi ...geez..its a junk style amplifier anyway and I've already cut up 
and modified it so much..don't think I can hurt the value of this amp any 
more..hi hi

          "Id start there and in the CW position and tune for maximum smoke."

          Careful, Carl, there are a lot of hams out there who take every word 
as gospel and will try to do that.
