Jim is correct IF you transmit prior to letting the AX9909's warm up. Why Leo Myerson's crew decided on these tubes is un-beknownst to me. However, I have been told that you need adequate warm up time, (roughly 5 min.) to help maintain a seal around the pins. All of the pins, including the plate come off of the bottom. I guess I ought to get a new low voltage transformer so I can return mine to the air.
