Thank you all for the nice reply to my questions regarding the HV on the Centurion.
Richard was nice enough to send me a photo of his 422B showing the 3100 V.

1. I am using 230VAC in the shack. It was just recently installed when we had to get a new breaker box and 200 amp service installed. The 230V line was installed by a electrinican. 2. While the PS could be the problem, I think it might be the meter resistors that have changed value.
3.  I am still getting 1300 Watts ouput and no hum or anything like that.
4. I am going to study the manual/diagream a bit more and the next time I have to open the case on the Centurion I will do some voltage and resistor test. 5. The reason for the question in the first place was that 3 of us in our DX club have the exact same 2800 V on our 422 amp.

Thank you again for  your suggestions as they were all good.

My fairly new example indicates at least 3100 V  when I
use the Ep meter reading.   Does this help, or did I
not get the correct setting?
