How did the tank like that much juice? Had to be over the cap spacing with modulation. >I used an outboard power supply for the 8417's producing about 550 volts and >300v (regulated).

This was a 160-40 rig only.< I see, you didn't get 100% mod with that low of a supply. Been thinking of squeezing a pair of 4D32s ala Bretts final sort of so as to keep the voltage lower but current up. The stock VK supply has at least 500 ma available without the onboard modulators. It's just that I have this fairly clean but unknown condition VK chassis without a cabinet and it would be easy to put up in a rack tray. But have had the tank cap arc over just from a little dust on the edges in my was working one.
