Default Troubleshooting Heathkit Apache (TX-1) XMTR


Hi Gang...

Decided to get my HF station back on the air. I have a heathkit apache
xmtr that was working the last time i used it (about 10 yrs agao!).
Plugged it in and turned it on. Lights go on.

Heres the problem:
Switching it to Transmit from standby.

The Red Transmit light comes on.
The TR relay switches over
I get HV
but no Plate or Grid current

Any ideas. I have not yet located my copy of the manual.

Is this a common problem ? A bad tube or tubes.

Does this indicate bad finas (2 6146Bs)

Any help out there ?

Thanks,
Joe
