Big Johnson Desk KW Amp!
Hello MDW:
Yeah I am sure it would heat up a radio room on a cold night.
Man look at the price this old KW amp is going for, 3300 American
Dollars, TILT!
The amp shouldn't draw that much juice, since its only a stock ham band amp.
I worked on a amp that used two each 3CX300A7 Tubes, for Spectral
Analyst, a tool in mining. It drew an RF Arc, in a special chamber, and
the spectral light was looked and photographed by a optical analyzer,
that gave out the content for the material being tested. And it didn't
draw that much power, it didn't trip the 40 amp circuit bearkers that
supplied the 220 volts power to it. After the testing I plugged the
clothes dryer back in.
It just drew a lot of current when it was in transmit operation, but
that was just for a short while. So it didn't take a lot of juice for a
long period of time. But if it did that would be expenive. Kind of like
when the kid left his electric ceiling heater on for a few days.
Or the air compress runs open loon for a few days, because the air hose
leaks.
Edison isn't too bad. But they got upset when I disabled there power
lock out assembly, when they locked out my power, after I paid all the
Bills. I handed it back to them at there payment center.
