I use a Hercules II, with an MFJ 75 Amp switcher, and it
works quite well with my Eagle. I do have an amp switching
box between the two, although it probably wouldn't be
necessary. I also use it with a KW tube amp, so it stays
in line.
The Hercules cooling fan seems to be going as it makes quite
a bit of noise. Is this normal, and if not has anyone
replaced this fan. I have to take a look at it for a possible
replacement. I've replaced fans on two tube amps, but don't
want to destroy my favorite!

Rick,
Transistor amps were the future at least 10 years ago - good choice on your
part. I and several friends have had excellent performance and service life
with 3-500, 4CX1000A, 572B etc. Yes, occasionally one gets a lemon. A friend
bought a NOS Eimac a few years ago - failed less than 5 days after he
installed it.
Auf Wiedersehen,
