I have a friend whoe has a Globe Scout 65. He and I have been disciussing
something that seems to be a problem. The Globe scout that he has he bought
from someone else. The transformer was changed as the original one went
south . Another was installed. The one that is in there developes about
1000 volts ac across it . When the rig is tuned up into a 50 ohm load he
can only draw bout 50mils of plate current and only put out about 25 watts.
The book he has says he should get around 50/60 watts out . I suggested
that maybe the trans former that was replaced was wrong one voltage wise and
maybe needed to be a bit larger one. Does anyone out there have any info
that can help in this cituation. Just the tranformer specs would be good
as the book that came with the thing did not really say anything about the
tranformer output. Thanks for any help you can give
