That¡¯s great news, Howard!
On the 6 ¡°legacy¡± bands, the SWR should be roughly 2:1 or less. ?Honestly, there are only two ways it can change: an bad part or someone being in there before, trying to adjust.and doing it badly (or setting 10m to 11m).
I¡¯d leave well-enough alone.

Thanks guys for all the input on input coil adjustment. Ran the amp today on 40m and had a swr of 1.2:1 between amp and L7 at about 1500watts PEP output to flat swr into my dipole.?
Going to check other bands later this week and see how they react. Not sure if I should get into it with that low a swr between Rig and amp.
I may try the idea of the antenna analyser if I can buy or borrow one at a later date,( looking at putting up a 40m loop in back yard and antenna analyser would come in handy for that also). The idea of leaving HV connected isn't for me....already had 1000volt shock and didn't like it a bit and now with 5 stints in? my heart ? don't want to melt them...hi hi. Thanks again for input on input. Love you learn. Howard VE7IGA ps if any of you guys are in the area of Chiiliwack BC some day feel free to drop in see the station and let me pick your brains.
