[Amps] R. MEASURES PRAYERS ANSWERED

[Peter Chadwick]

In my innocence, something puzzles me. Is the indexing on the SB220 bandswitch very weak, or are the capacitors very stiff? I would have thought that the resistance to turning of the bandswitch would be sufficient to tell the oeprator that he (or she) was attempting to turn the wrong knob before it actually moved.
What size is the bandswitch? Is it the one with centres about an inch and a quarter apart? If so, it's pretty marginal at 1 kW: the KW1000 amp from KW Electronics in the UK used that size switch, but had a phenolic shaft to get the voltage rating up.
