[TMC] RFC-1 Amp

[telegrapher@att.net]

I now have in my posession part of a GPT-10K Amplifier.  Its the LV power 
supply unit with the RFC-1 AMplifier which is a 1 KW unit that drives the 10KW 
final.  This uses a PL-172 tube and requires 3KV at almost 1 amp.  

Needs cleaning up but i certainly think that its a useable unit with some 
engineering.  Need the HV connectors and cable, the one that came with it is 
the wrong type, and i'd like to find Volumne 1 for the set of manuals.  Volumne 
II came with it.  Thats on maintenance.  Apparently Vol. 1 should be Operations 
etc.  

On the HV supply, it took the 3 KV from the 7.5KV line  that supplied the 10K 
Amp portion.  Filament, imagine 7.5V @ 75 Amps???????  Not for the PL-172 
fortunately, that was for the big tube.  

I think this RFC-1 is similar to the SBT-1K or PAL-1k unit but don't know.  The 
LV supply is certainly in a wide frame rack mount.  

Any thoughts or suggestions?  Maybe i should part it out?
