[Amps] 5 Minutes for Ameritron 811H to warm up?

[Alek Petkovic]

You said it in one Jim.

If you buy a AL811, you deserve what you get.

A guy local to me had two of them. One with three tubes and one with 
four. They were forever breaking down and he usually brought them around 
for me to fix.

In the end, I reminded him that he earned really good money and that he 
had a really great station except for his amplifiers and that he should 
just dump them and get something decent. Thankfully, he did. Dunno what 
he runs now but I know it ain't the 811 amps.
