[Boatanchors] Troubleshooting linear amplifier

[Dennis DuVall]

Brian, 

Hmmm….  Downloaded the manual that comes with this amp and took a look.  This is an entirely different beast than “conventional" amps like the SB-220, SB-200, FL-2100B., Handbook designs of the period, etc.  For starters NO “conventional"  mechanical band switch assembly  here with multiple sections on a single long shaft controlling the circuit constants in the grid through the plate circuits.  Section 4 in the manual gives some troubleshooting guidance.  Don’t know whether there’s a proper maintenance manual available here but something more would sure be helpful.

Good luck!
