I got my new Christmas tree! Well, not really of course but it comes close.
I opened up my new Ameritron Linear just to see what those 4 tubes look like when the thing is turned on. It lights up the room and looks rather cozy! There is also a lot of heat coming from it so perfect for those cold winter evenings!
I had to override the safety switch to open it though. Ameritron puts one in so when you open the linear power it is disconnected from power. I found the safety switch and pushed it while taking the pics. I guess this is why the pics are a bit blurry; I made them with one (shaky) hand! 😉
Of course this is one of those situations where I should say (and am saying!); don’t try this at home! There is 1700 volt generated in there!
I do think the open linear looks like a work of art but I guess that’s just my radio amateur way of looking at things.
