Rick,
Definitive statements can't be made unless the plate voltage meter is known to
be in calibration and/or an external meter used to verify its accuracy.

Subject: [Drakelist] low plate voltage
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 trysounds like a part reversal
during install.
