Worked out a game plan:
- unload from trunk and lug heavy iron outboard Distribution Transformer from car to house
- 'nother trip to retrieve RF decks
- Do all of the low voltage work on tube sockets and test.
- Patch my variable B+ supply in and bring the plates up to about 500 volts
- Unplug every computer / Rf sensitive in the house.
- Connect DOSY "wattmeters" and check for some output
- Package and lug back to car (I'm charging really for the strain on my back more than RF work!)
- Deliver and return myself to repair retirement.
In my retirement, I am turning down jobs containing "Toobs" with Handles; there are at least three stations running Steel Tubes in the area.
