[Heathkit] SB-200

[WQ9E at btsnetworks.net]

Heathkit specified it for 2,400 volts no load, is your 2,100 volts at no load or with it drawing idling current?

If the meter is reading 2,100 volts no load the most likely reason for measure low voltage is the multiplier resistors for the HV metering position have drifted up in value.  This is a common occurrence in many amps of this vintage which use similar circuits.

> Hi all:    Could someone please tell me why I can only get 2100 volts out of my amp? I have the new Harbach power board installed. It is on 120V right now but getting son-in-law to install a 220 line soon. i want to find out so I can retify the situation as I'm going to restore the amp over the winter. Thanks. 73, Paul, KA3JOI
