Marc,

I agree with Lee. Low input voltage. Mine shows 2700 volts running from a 240vac line after rebuild. What do you see in the cw/tune position, lower by the same percentage?

I recently aquired a l4b. I upgraded the ps and soft key with harbach.
I turned the amp on in ssb with no load and have 2400 volts. I did not
try and key or do anything else as i do not want to cause damage. I
believe i should have 2600volts.?

Marc - I just rebuilt the L-7PS with a Harbach board (and a L-4PS with the Heathkit Shop board)....Both boards show 2700 volts on the amp meters after putting them into operation.

Did you do a low-voltage test before installing? I applied a 20VAC voltage to the input and got ~50VDC at the outputs verifying the voltage doubler function.

You may want to give that a try....sounds like a part reversal during install.
