I'm using a 40 ohm and it seems to pull in almost right away. I still hear a thump when the power is turned on which leads me to think it's not delaying enough. I wonder if a 100 ohm might be a bette
I have watched the HV come up when I turn on the AL-80A, it comes up very fast and I find it hard to tell when it is at that point and the relay clicks in. I'll try a dc relay, I think the ac relay o
The AL-80A with a S/N below 500, does it have all the important changes or are there some more that need to be made. I am thinking about buying one which has a early SN, below 500. Tnx Dale, K9VUJ
