I just finished fixing a Powermite 3A, and it seems to work fine except that
the tune-up meter doesn't work properly.  The problem, if on a tube rig,
would be improper neutralization - the peak power output does not match the
meter's dip.  It is a significant difference - the dip results in about 1.5
watts out, peaking the controls using a wattmeter results in over 4 watts
output.  One question, is whether anyone has converted the meter to a
relative output reading instead of its standard (whatever is analygous to
plate) reading.  Tom W6EIJ
