[Dudley Hurry]

Ron,

There is a filter board that needs to be removed, and the stop for the
bandswitch needs to be moved one position..

I would not remove the swap resistor.  This helps to keep from overdriving
the grids, and if you have ever tried to find replacement 8875s you will
want to protect those tubes as much as you can.   I don't think that they
have been in production for over 20 years.   The 8875 was only made for ham
service, and never accepted in the commerical world.   Electrically the same
as a 8874, but air is blown horizonally instead of vertically..

Thanks and 73's,
Dudley

Hi everyone... I have two questions about my Dentron MLA 2500B.  First, how
do I get it on ten meters?  Second, I seen reference in an ebay listing that
this amplifier can run more power if one bypasses the swamping resistor...
is this true?  Thanks in advance for any comments; from Ron VE4SR
