About:

"Opened box . Performed 10 meter mod and installed transformer.  Added
power
  Hooked up drive and low swr antenna.  On standby ant loads well.
Punched
operate.  Plate voltage 3000.  Applied drive. Grid current goes down??
Plate
current goes up.  Load and Tune no effect. No output.  Same setup with
Hercules 11. Works great.
I find it hard to believe that brand new TenTec amp defective so I must
be
doing something stupid. Any ideas?
TenTec on holiday."

Bill I don't want to insult you with this answer,

But the plate tuning and loading are very critical and fast, especially
on the higher bands, because of the L-PI-L tank circuit. Try carefully
tuning each, first at lower drive to find it.
