Hi,

wrong. Is there anything else that usually needs to be done/inspected
for a transmitter? I have no way of testing the 4-400 outputs or the
3B28 rectifiers, so do I just fire it up and hope for the best? I
assume I should try and bring this up with a variac, but would really
appreciate a startup procedure recommendation for high power vintage
transmitters.


About bringing the TX up on a variac, IIRC 3B28's are xenon gas
rectifiers and may not strike until the voltage across them is high
enough.
