The Kenwood is a "Valve hybrid" - there are 3 tubes in there, a driver and 2 output tubes in //. Filamnets are switchable on/off. Idle current is.....very low, never measured it, had no need to. The light bulb method does work sufficiently well for the purpose intended. I think I missed just what type of rig it was. If it a Kenwood TS-830, the owner has to immediately ship it to me, as those units had a particular problem that ony I can fix. I tested out one of those, and fell in love with it. Good sound, Hot receiver, good looking rig, The big issue with those was the band changing switch. Not a big deal. Heck, I'll even pay shipping ;^) - 73 de Mike N3LI - |
