[Boatanchors] Globe Linear Amplifier LA-1

[Gary Schafer]

Hi John,

How much power do you get out of the LA-1 with the 20A driving it?

I have one here too but never got around to getting it going. I did find
that the plate meter shunt was way off and I had to recalibrate the meter.
that is as far as I got.
