Peter, thanks for your note. These are almost assuredly out of spec, as I noticed some odd behavior around this circuit/tube. The sidetone was starting to warble like a pubescent lad, and the gain knob has to be cranked up the entire way to get CW drive. It goes from 1 watt output to 100+W in the last 5 degrees of control of the gain knob.?
?
I'll open up the patient once again. cheers
