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
