[TenTec] 422 Centurion blowing fuses...

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Yep, two transformers.  One is HV only the other has the filament and LV 
windings.  Both transformers have two windings on the primaries.

As to the HV being turned on separately, either this is a modification, or a 
very early amplifier unknown to me.  My later two amps would apply the HV 
when the power switch on the underside was turned on.  The fan came on at 
the same time.  The front panel, Standby/Operate switch, handles the control 
between the RX/TX commands via the QSK board.
