> A while back I acquired a Globe Electronics Globe Chief 90A with the intention of using the pwr. trans. in a defunct WRL xmtr. However, even though, this xmtr looks rough cosmetically, the wiring looks good. I just fired it up and its putting out power. At the moment the band switch is extremely hard to turn, so will probably take it out and clean and lub. Also, on 80m (the only band tested so far), I get some grid drive (not sure if its enough) with the grid tuning full ccw with no peak, which should be the 40/20 mtr position. And another problem noticed is the output peaks way off the dip. So there are a few problems to iron out, but its alive.
