Re: Building my first amplifier. Where to start?
Listen carefully. ONLY when the tube is driven full bore, the RMS? RF voltage is aprx .6? to .63? X loaded B+ voltage.? Then add 41% for the peak? RF voltage.? ?That peak RF voltage (only when

Re: AL-80B meter lights
Got it. Thanks. My friend called MFJ. They told him they are LED's. I gotta feeling they may have been incandescents in the early years then changed to LED"s at one time? Just guessing. He ordered a

Re: Building my first amplifier. Where to start?
Its not hurting the tube. You need to remember that this is Single side band with a duty cycle of 15 to 20 percent. Even with heavy processor is not past 25%. What will the amp be used for??? This is

Re: Building my first amplifier. Where to start?
Thanks for the link, im reading that as 3450v UNDER LOAD!? So unloaded he could be at near 4KV dc on a 3 KV rated tube.? Is "over volting" tubes this much typical?? Any rules of thumb to consider

Re: AL-80B meter lights
The 12v rail is usually around 15 volts so the usually have dropping resistors just outside the meter where the bulb fits in. ?Measure the voltage before the dropping resistor and use a 12v bulb that

Re: AL-80B meter lights
Does anyone verify the meter lamp voltage? I've spent a lot of time on google with no information on the voltage or replacement lamp part numbers. It looks like what Lou said it may be 12 volts but I

Hi all, Just an update, we got the fan job done in my friends AL-80B amp. All is well. I never noticed that the neither of the meter lights work. The amp is already put in it's place so it is a small
