[Amps] Henry 3K Classic project.

[Donald Fox]

Gentlemen:
 
I feel lucky enough to have come across a late 80's Henry 3K Classic in need of some TLC. I think it will be a nice winter project to bring it back to life. 
 
>From what I can tell, it needs a good cleaning, and the major malady is tripping the big breaker when you try to fire it up. 
 
The OEM 3CX1200 is dated 8852, but does not rattle and looks ok. While the front panel does not have the X designation on it, a peek inside confirms that it has the 1214 5K plate xformer. The band switch also covers 80-10 even though the marking for 10 is absent. The plate voltage meter also is the 0-10kv model. I hope to be able to discern whether or not it left the factory this way, or was modified later.
 
I am aware that Henry had current inrush issues with the larger power supplies, so part of my "surgery" will include a step start circuit like my 2KX console has.
 
Thanks in advance for your time. I just had to smile a bit and tell someone since at least some of you will appreciate the feeling that comes with a find like this.
