Greetings:
I have had my Centurian for about 5 years now, works good and is consistent.
I did manage to have the HV power transformer fail, after thinking about it
and doing some tests I suspect it was just the luck of the draw, the thing
failed and went short circuit inside the windings. TT replaced the
transformer promptly at a reasonable cost.
The Pride tubes have given good service, I run QSK but choose not to use the
internal Centurian keying system as I will accept no distortion of the CW
keying, I use a timed system to key the relays so they never close or open
hot. I find the amplifier is excellent value.
I hope you find that you have a similar experience if you get one.
