Hello MDW:

Yeah I am sure it would heat up a radio room on a cold night.

Man look at the price this old KW amp is going for, 3300 American Dollars,
TILT!

The amp shouldn't draw that much juice, since its only a stock ham band
amp.

I worked on a amp that used two each 3CX300A7 Tubes, for Spectral Analyst,
a tool in mining. It drew an RF Arc, in a special chamber, and the
spectral light was looked and photographed by a optical analyzer, that
gave out the content for the material being tested. And it didn't draw
that much power, it didn't trip the 40 amp circuit bearkers that supplied
the 220 volts power to it. After the testing I plugged the clothes dryer
back in.

It just drew a lot of current when it was in transmit operation, but that
was just for a short while. So it didn't take a lot of juice for a long
period of time. But if it did that would be expenive. Kind of like when
the kid left his electric ceiling heater on for a few days.

Or the air compress runs open loon for a few days, because the air hose
leaks.

Edison isn't too bad. But they got upset when I disabled there power lock
out assembly, when they locked out my power, after I paid all the Bills. I
handed it back to them at there payment center.

We'll just cut you loose at the pole or transformer. Good thing you don't
live here. Not to mention the $200 per incident tamper fee.........



Not a problem, I paid all my bills so they didn't have a leg to stand
on. I and they knew it.

Yeah disconnecting my power at the pole would have done it. But they
would have had to "Hi Occo" it back the next day any way.

I had leg surgery back in the 80's. I went down to a welding supply shop
to buy a new set of bottles, torches, and regulators, at half price.
Hobbling around on Crutches.

I stooped off by the office at work to give them some papers. When I
hobbled back to the truck, they put on a metal restraining bar on my
front tire. Well with a new set of Cutting Torches, Bottles, and such, I
made quick work of their metal restraining bar. Leaving it there in a
pile of rubble, not in premium shape, I laughed all the way home.
Besides I was parked in a legal parking place.

Somethings ya wish ya had a picture of.
