Somewhere, I have a video I made of my big rig (that I usually run at 
100w) on a dummy load, with +/- 3500v on the plates of the final, 
producing around 1250 watts of carrier output (according to the power 
meter on the Heathkit Tuner).  I'm not running that same power supply 
any more, and it's since been cannibalized for part in a different 
supply, but I still have that transformer and need to get some larger 
capacitors.  I have plenty of chokes, for a choke-input supply.

Damnit all anyway.. if it weren't for 'neighbors', I'd run the rig at 
500w DC input -all the time-.
