Anybody got one of the old Alpha vapor-cooled amps still running? A friend just acquired one, but it has some problems (a transformer, if I remember right)? If the tube is still good (he doesn't have

Vic is correct that most vacuum relay problems result from hot switching. You can often repair vacuum relays whose contacts have been welded shut by holding a magnet against the body of the relay. Su

Hi Jim, Here's info on an OEP dual section capacitor that is fairly close to your requirements: p/n 73-2-75-56BE, 2-sections, 17-65 pF and 25-318 pF, with .075" spacing, nominal rating of 2500V. This

I agree, Carl, those values don't sound quite right. They were marked in pencil on the back of the cap, but I don't know how they got there. I'll do an accurate measurement today and update the value

Hi Dick, You don't need a 1.5KV rating. Let's say you want to drop the line voltage by 12V and suppose the maximum current drawn from the AC line by the amplifier is 15 Amps. You'd thus need only a 1

Carl, I remeasured the cap, and the two sections are 17-63pF and 24-316 pF, pretty much what I had measured before N years ago. A single section cap on the same frame would be 379 pF, or maybe a smid

Interesting, Carl. I don't understand why the minimum capacitance on the small section is so high. I suppose I could remove a plate nearest the frame of the capacitor, but I wouldn't think that would

Hi Dick, I believe you are misinterpreting the KVA rating in the table. The KVA refers to the power dissipated in the load (i.e., your amplfier) and not the KVA rating of the buck-boost transformer.

I agree with Manfred's comments exactly. When I referred to "peak power" in my example, what I actually meant was the RMS power drawn by the Quadra from the AC line when it is driven to its maximum o

I use 0.25 inch trace widths on 1 oz copper (tinned w/solder mask) on a .063" PCB. Lenghs are under 1.5 inch, with PCB-mount power relays doing the switching. Tested extensively at 2.5 KW from 1.8-30

Joe, measure the 220 VAC and make sure that's what you really have. Next, check the the jumper wiring in the L7 to make sure it's configured properly for your current line voltage. You can measure HV

Some people don't like tri-state EBS to cut down on heat in tetrode amps, but I found it works very well in my homebrew 3-tube GU74B amplfier and is easy to implement. The three bias levels are -120V

Hi Gary, I agree completely with your numbers. It's not hard to make the input switch at a lower RF level, but I didn't do that because it would have complicated the RF sensing circuit (which now is

Mike, it's hard to answer your question without knowing a few more details. Do you operate much CW, or mostly SSB? Also, have you thought about modifying the RF deck to use electronic T/R switching,
