Thank you to everyone for the good info and suggestions.
The snubber overheats with or without load.
The .02 snubber cap has been replaced with
a .02 disc ceramic rated 1500 Volts.
The OZ4 delivers the proper voltage and sources
enough current. Transmitter output is above spec
and modulation is good as long as I dare run it-
a few minutes at a time.
I subbed solid-state diodes for the OZ4.
Still worked fine and the snubber still overheats.
More tests later. Work time!
