gentlemen
I have acquired a nice 76ca that has been converted to a pair of 3cx800,s  .
The challenge now is that it also has been converted to 50mhz.
On my first testing done, it worked very good. After running some test I  
slowing loaded 
the amp up for near max output. Within about 2 minutes the original plate  
lead suppressor went 
up in smoke. The 100ohm resisters opened.
I have talked too and tried some of ag6k,s fix,s but no real steps  forward.
I have tried  parasitic suppressors from a Drake L4B , the single "U"  type 
with no change.
It does have a tuned grid input unit mounted on the back, to me it seems to 
 tune much too sharp?
The plate choke looks non original, issue there?
 
                                   thanks for ur thoughts
