OK so my 49'er is deaf...worse than me (double hearing aids)...takes about 1 millivolt out of my Wavetek SG to hear anything worth listening to.....(like a Hallicrafters S-120 with low line voltage.) Output is low too...maybe a 1/2 watt or so...
I think I mis- wound the torrids...so L3 is 11 turns (per the instructions) ...so do you count 12 passes thru the center ???? ( the first turn is really 2 passes thru the core??? right ???) same for L4..how many passes are thru the core ???? ,...16 or 17 ???..I did double check the caps...those are all correct.
Yeah and I smoked the final when I was tuning it up too (after a while key down)...got my stash of finals from China the other day...these things aren't like 6146's are they ??? hahahaha
..been following the heat sink thread...I'm trying to make some sort of heat sink for it....
any help appreciated for an old tube guy struggling to get into the 20th century...
