[Amps] Alpha 77SX forward & reverse W not working

[MU 4CX250B]

As I recall (and maybe I don’t!),the 77SX has the same tank circuit as
the 77DX, which means the plate load Z is too low for the tank
components. The amp tunes to resonance, except on 10m, but not certain
how good the harmonic suppression is.
