[Boatanchors] Power Out

[David C. Hallam]

Al,

I too feel it's a matter of neutralization.  But is it a matter of 
driver or final neutralization?  The driver is a pair of 6146's and the 
final is a pair of 4-400A's.  Since the finals are passive grid drive, 
Johnson didn't include any neutralization circuit them.  The plate 
current difference is only about 5 mA @ 2100V.

I can check the driver neutralization without too much trouble.
