[Amps] Eimac AS-47 2m 8877 amp?

[jeff millar]

Used one for years for our VHF Contest group and rebuilt it several times.

C5 is a flat copper plate about 10 cm wide and 5 tall.  It has flexible 
brass sheet on each end that wraps back to ground to the aluminum box.  
The brass is U shaped and acts as a spring to suspend the flat plate.  
The tube has a copper ring that connects to the anode lines and has 
another flat sheet of copper soldered to it to make the plate.

I glued teflon sheet (treated to make it glue-able) to the tune and load 
plates to avoid dramatic events if the tuning every got too aggressive.

Look at http://www.qsl.net/dl4mea/2g35.htm for a similar design using a 
GS35.
Also look at http://www.nd2x.net/base-1.html for a bunch of designs.
