I guess that I never posted my thread to this list about my fully 
modded amp which HUMMMMMMSSS  LOUDLY! when I switch it from CW to 
SSB.???  pegs the meter on HV, runs 2.9 on CW.

iow, I have the Peter Dahl El GRANDE!!!  transformer apparently which 
came with this harbach/measures upgraded amp.  Two more caps should 
pull it down so that the meter will work. or so I have been told 
although it makes little sense why it should.  however, I assume that 
the tubes will handle 2200 watts???  right now, on 75m, I can tune 
into my Cobra Sr on CW with about 1300-1400 watts.

I have a set of new caps which are the little oil cans which i need to 
glue to some thin wood and then wire them together.  not sure what 
kind of wire i need though.  I am such a dweeb when it comes to this 
considering I built a few kits when i was a 10 yr old kid.

any suggestion for the wire?  source?

thanks
