Collins transformers for the 30L-1
Bill K3HZP, Contact Heyboer, they have all the PWDahl specs and can build a PWDP13170 cheaper than a rewind. They did a Globe King 500A modulation transformer for me and it's great. 73 Bill N4LG

Nationwide radio has a good selection of Collins transformers but it looks like they currently do not have one for the 30L-1. Peter Dahl makes a replacement p/n **** PWDP13170 **** -- 73

Thanks for all of the reply. I will check the connections within the tank circuit. The band switch looks OK but I will investigate closer. Band switch is in the correct position when testing. -- 73

Re: Ten-Tec Centurion Parts Needed
¡°Although it¡¯s a handsome looking amp it¡¯s certainly not the best performer in its class. It lacks inductance on 160 and the tank isn¡¯t so good on 15 and 10¡±. So true, Louis. As Jim VE7RF

Re: Potter & Brumfield Sensitive Plate Circuit Relays
Perhaps that relay was used in that application in an effort to reduce the voltage/current to operate it to low values, such as from a later-model (but older) transceiver with limited T/R relay

Re: Potter & Brumfield Sensitive Plate Circuit Relays
Dear Nick, My GUESS is the P&B magnet is 24 to 28 Vdc. However, if you trace the wiring to the coil, back to the power supply, you may there deduce the coil voltage by energizing the xfmr primaries.
