[Collins] Another 516-F2 PS Question

[Al Parker]

Thanks Jerry,
	I'll go without it, in the AM.  Your post brings up another question, 
I've seen the bulletin recommending SS diodes if rectifier tubes are 
flashing, and realize that the output voltage will be 10-15% increased. 
  It seems that the increase of ~900vdc to over 1kv might be a bit much.
	I do that in other applications, e.g. Hallicrafters HT-32 & HT-37 
xmtrs, because of their propensity to short the HV winding to a filament 
winding.
thanks again,

Al, W8UT
