[AMRadio] 1930's Old Buzzard Open Rack Transmitter Finally SeestheAirwaves! (Long)

[Brett gazdzinski]

That is what I did with the bias, plus I put a bi pot on the 
control deck so I can change the grid leak resistance.
The bias voltage meter is usually pinned, that's above 
150 volts someplace...
