Thanks to all who replied to my question ref. rebuilding the Warrior
power supply.
I had another thought... If I recall correctly, the stock Warrior
power supply puts out something like 1800 volts for the plates of the
811A tubes. If I replace the tubes with 572B's AND bump the plate
voltage up to around 2200-2500 volts, and run the four 572B's at
around 1000-1200 watts PEP output, will the plate tuning capacitor
withstand the resulting higher voltage, without arcing? Or do I need
to consider replacing it with a wider-spaced tuning cap?
