Bill:

Very interesting that you have too much drive -  I have a '35 that I
rebuilt some time ago and I have the opposite problem: very low drive.
So, could you send me some of your extra drie????

I added a fuse and pulled the modulator tubes to reduce the load on the pwr xfmr. So far the only problem I see is too high grid drive on 80/40 mtrs. The min. I can get is around 3.5ma. and w/o much adjustment. Twenty mtr grid drive is adjustable from 1.5 to 5 ma. Any idea how I can reduce the grid drive on 80/40? It should be around 2.5ma. for the good health of the 6146.
