[TenTec] TT Centurion

[Richard Detweiler]

If they haven't been turned on the in the last month or so,  let them run for an hour or so per month of storage time.
 
The tubes should have a date code on them, that might give you an idea of how long to run the filaments.

Was wondering if it is necessary to run the tubes (filaments only) for a while with no HV. If so for how long?> One other question. I am driving the Centurion with an Omni VI, when operating sometimes the receive does not return & have to key the Omni to recover the receive. I see the output relay in the Centurion it has a black cover over it. How do you remove the cover so I can clean the relay contacts. When operating the Omni barefoot, no problem with the receive.> > Thanks,> > Doyle/N4VV> _______________________________________________> TenTec mailing list> TenTec at contesting.com> http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
