Re: SB-200 newbie question
This wouldnt be the core problem I guess but if a 33 ohm resistor has changed to 45 ohms it needs to be replaced, I hope you have done it already. To me it sounds like the problem is on the output

I forgot to add that I have just replaced the two blocking caps on the SB-200, and added a third doorknob cap on the 80M switch position in place of the big mica cap. I have not yet fired it up with

Re: SB-200 newbie question
Check your plate blocking cap and pi - network components. Also TR RELAY contacts. Sounds like you have plenty or drive but output circuit may beon th ewrong frequency. Plate and load settings changes

Re: Chinese AL-811 / Will nominated as .."project Manager"
I just invited Hsu. I've been away for a couple of days and just got to it. What did Tom have to say to Hsu about the 811 amp? I don't get any mail from Tom since I put him in my junk mail filter;)

Jim -- A 2500-ohm feedback-path from the output back to the input of a tube with an amplification factor of 200 means nothing to you? It may be but both tubes have more than zero feedback C and more
