[Amps] Chinese hipot RK2671A?

[Carl]

That HB one has seen a lot of service but it still wont tell me if a 4-1000A 
will hold up for plate modulated AM at 5KV DC (-;   I had a few unknown 
pulls that let loose on voice peaks.

The saving grace was that it cost almost nothing as I already had all the 
parts or found them at a hamfest for pennies.
