[Amps] Harris RF-110A Question

[Keith Densmore]

Greetings All,
I just made a deal on one of these amps. Wanted one for a long time.
I see they run parrellel 4CX1500's but the total output power is still less 
than one tube can do. I believe they do this for redundancy ie if one tube 
fails it will still work.
So my question is, if you remove one of the tubes will the amp still work 
properly? Amateur service, light duty. I can see the advantage, you save 400 
watts in idle current alone by removing the second tube but is there a 
downside?

Thanks,
Keith ve3ts
