[Amps] 5cx1500 Amp

[Robert Perdue]

The amp started life as a plasma generator. I did find the original Schematics from the guy who converted it with his additions added in. It is a stout amp and thanks to all for the replys.

  Dont know the year, or issue, but I do remember a HAM RADIO Magazine article on a 5cx 1500 Amp.
  I remember that the issue had a line drawing of the outline of a 5cx 1500 on the cover...
