[Henry] Filament Transformers

[Michael Melland, W9WIS]

Hi Gene,

Can't answer your question but I also wonder....

My "new to me" 2KD Classic (1985 production) works great.  I notice a
significant lag between when the amp is powered on and the blower starts and
filiaments glow.... everything seems to come up to speed after this brief
lag slowly to full speed.  Mine also has the seperate filiament
transformwer. I don't think Henry had a step start stock on these amps.  I
suspect someone may have added one to mine although I admit I haven't looked
too hard for any mods ... none are obvious.  Perhaps this is just the way
these amps start.... don't know ... never owned one before.  I had smaller
amps like the 3 ea 811A Ten-Tec Centaur and it started at full speed
immediately on turn on.
