Hi guys,

A couple things have always bugged me so I will ask the questions now and see what I can determine.

In the alignment, I have always wondered why, after all the time spent adjusting the HET. OSC. coils to
the spec, why do we need to start all over again when we do the transmit alignment ??

Also, in the finals, pins 1, 4 and 6 are tied together between the two tubes, so why the redundancy with
three .005 mfd bypass caps on each tube? Would it not be just fine to have only one cap for both tubes
instead of six caps ?  The tube spacing is so close I see no need for the multiple caps.
