In case anybody cares, I still have those industrial transformers and chokes
which would build a GREAT REPLACEMENT power supply for something like an
L-4B amplifier.  The transformers are big about 40# and the chokes are about
25.  They came from an RF heating unit that ran an 8877.  BY using different
taps you can get any voltage from about 2500-2700 to 3000.  (Or run your amp
on 208V with a filament transformer change).  You do lose the ability to run
the amp on 120V.   The higher voltage output would wake up that L-4 and make
it a 1500W amp.  These would be excellent for RTTY at ham power levels $250
a set.  Here's your chance to get rid of the hot little PS with a voltage
doubler and build a man supply.   BOB DD
