A recap of what you are looking at: The transformer is a Peter
Dahl designed for this upgrade. The right angle chimney moves
the hot air out of the box. I have parasitic concerns associated
with the long extended plate connection required to work with
the chimney. The power supply mod is from a voltage doubler
to a full wave bridge. I am replacing the big caps with small
new units. When this unit was first completed the output was
2700 watts. This tank was completely rebuilt. Look at the wires
they have melted installation and arc indications. Lots of RF
in a small box can cause problems. This picture of the Dentron
tuned input to control SWR from the exciter.
