ya i got it , it was dc and its throwing 742 voilts but i think i
found the reason for no out put , dead but glowing 8156 and 8106
, the thing im worried about is that 8072 being bad , in finding that
the cabinate was dropped 8 inches on a concrete deck , im pretty mad
but i think the damage is done so im gonna retube it if i can find those
3 , net searches tell me im gonna spend between 85 -185 for a
8072 and 15 -18 for a 8156 , and 9 -11 for a 8106 tube , kinda
heartbreaking considering its in operation at 2 watts right now at
l;east the transistors are good :) im trying to find the hpaainess in
the whole deal , that ive put many man hrs in this from getting it
getting crystals ,then the controller , then the antenna , then the
feedline ,and then finally building the outboard keying circuit to
get it all working , and now dead tubes , but hey its a commercial rig and
at least 30 yrs old , so its off for a parts hunt now !!!!!!
