[TenTec] new amp

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Tune for maximum output while watching the plate a grid currents. 
maximum output should be rated output with proper plate and grid 
currents. It is possible to tune a grounded grid PA for proper plate and 
grid currents while achieving very little power gain. I've found that 
tuning for maximum output while ignoring the plate and grid meters, I 
had proper plate and grid currents when done. If you keep the drive down 
a little and watch out for excessive currents the tubes will like it 
better and last longer.
