Since QRZ.com's head moderator has issues with me after telling me "to go F myself". Females who know something about electronics are not welcome over there.

Really ? 

That's real bad and very sad. 

Sue, you've given us a lot, please don't go anywhere.

I don't plan on going anywhere.
I always try to give value to the forums I belong to.
Thanks.

"I will most likely post the repair work over on E-Ham http://www.eham.net/ Since QRZ.com's head moderator has issues with me after telling me "to go F myself". Females who know something about electronics are not welcome over there."

Eham's gain is QRZ.com's loss. You could always submit it as an article rather than a post in the 'Amplifiers' section.

I have thought about doing an article instead of a repair thread.
One thing I like is the interaction between the other posters who show up and provide their opinions and ideas.
The QRZ thread on my SB-220 rehab was a great example.
The thread on the building of a 600W solid state amplifier was another great example Ripley's project ran into problems and several of us stepped in to give him some good advice on dealing with his subsystem integration issues. He was having RF getting in where it did not belong causing all kinds of havoc.

I have been giving serious thought to posting the HL-2200 amplifier rebuild and modification as an article over there on E-Ham. I gave a presentation on the amplifier at our club, it was well received.
The owner of the HL-2200 is very pleased with its outcome.

Oh and my addiction to boat anchors is second only to my addiction to test gear.

Test gear which, if I'm not mistaken, is probably more often than not also of the 'hook a chain to it, throw it overboard and it'll hold the Nimitz in place through a typhoon' variety as well...

Actually it use to be that way back in the eighties and early nineties.
These days I have only a few vacuum tube pieces of gear, all the rest is solid state.
Still mostly HP Iron.

Very nice bench, not really deep enough for me.
I like a 48" deep bench. (1.4 meters give or take)
It makes working on larger items easier.
...
wait for 24" of snow to fall and build a ice ramp to the door.......

oh yeah snow not exist down there..

ok next plan. fork lift.

those henry 3K be heavy

Heavy as Hell
I have it figured out. I won't even have to pull the plate transformer.
The upcoming repair on this amp involves the output network band switch.

AF6LJ, your problem is solved!  Here's Red Green to show you how a home-built forklift is easy to do...

Most of mine is solid state HP as well.  It still has the mass of a neutron star and I think qualifies for boat anchor status based on density alone.

What is your cats name AF6LJ ?

His feet really make him the dapper cat.

[Mr. Scram]

I was making plans on how to get the 3KA from the garage to the shack today.
There is going to need to be some changes here to accommodate this amplifier.
And Yes there is some repair necessary.
Oh and my addiction to boat anchors is second only to my addiction to test gear.

Just out of curiosity, but the quotes in your posts always look messed up on my end. Do you perhaps use another method to quote people I'm not aware of?

Something having to do with how this new version of FireFox interacts with this forum software.

Oh it certainly does.

Somehow something is injecting blockquote tags into the posts.

Just to check, are others seeing the messed up formatting too? I've just tried quoting someone on the latest x86 version of Firefox and that seems to work fine. I think I've seen it happening to one other member too, so maybe we can figure out what's going on.

[rdl]

Sometimes I see the quotes one way, sometimes the other.

[Mr. Scram]

Sometimes I see the quotes one way, sometimes the other.

Yeah, those are AF6LJ's quotes, which are broken for me too. There seem to be different tags injected.

AF6LJ, do you happen to use any third party software to post on the forums?

FireFox that's all.
I think FF broke the forum software.This software has other issues. If you post too soon it freezes. That's not the browser that is the forum software doing that.

In Profile>Modify Profile>Show WYSIWYG editor on post page by default = unticked.
I think fixes this issue.

We will have to see.....
It does actually.......
 the BB code looks correct now.

[cdev]

I had this same problem and it was because I was trying to use the WYSIWYG editor. Note that I had to copy-paste and move two quotes downward otherwise the quote box ended prematurely making it seem that I was saying the bottom few lines.

I'd rather bet that the firefox is what is at fail. As in my rather old version of firefox everything works. And in other browsers it is fine too. The newer the version of this damned thing, the more craptacular they make it. Yuck.

[cdev]

I have this render issue on my computer. At 2560*1600 or higher resolution, my screen shows a vertical line on the left side, right after the ellipsis in "Pages Prev 1 ...".
This doesn't happen on 1080p/1200p. This shows on both Edge and Chrome on Windows 10, FF on Ubuntu and Chrome on macOS High Sierra.

This may be because the web designer is not expecting screens to be that wide. 

They will likely fix it if told about it, you should take a screenshot and send it in an email to both grif and smf 

[cdev]

No, I looked at the source and some of the close quote tags were missing, it is likely in the code for the so called round trip HTML in the SMF WYSIWYG editor.

The web browser rendering engines (Gecko, Webkit, etc.) are fairly robust at this point.

I'd rather bet that the firefox is what is at fail. As in my rather old version of firefox everything works. And in other browsers it is fine too. The newer the version of this damned thing, the more craptacular they make it. Yuck.

[Yansi]

Still it doesn't contradict firefox is at fault.   It does work flawlessly in different (older) versions of firefox and all other browser I have used.  I'd really not suspect it's the forum's fault.

Happy new yer 2018, btw. We just got minutes after midnight here.
