Thanks for all the comments. Looks like the voltages may be reasonable
given my high line voltage. I checked the ground between the AC4 and the
transmitter and its OK. I checked the filament voltage and it is high also. I
thought about the VOX hanging up but that wouldn't account for the high plate
current with the RF gain all the way down. Maybe its a parasitic oscillation in
the finals, but it would be a great coincidence if it occurred in two
transmitters. Guess I'll pull the bottom off the T4XC and check voltages there, as
well as try to figure out if the plate current is driven by DC bias or
whether there is some RF drive.
