Update on the BU-250 Rig here (a 4-250 based AM rig). (BU stands for Butt-Ugly).
Finally got some more work done on the HB rig here. Got the meters into the plate circuit (plate volts and Current) and got the screen bias volts up.  Found some transformers to get ~200volts for the grid bias. Now to work up the rest of that circuit, and wire in the meters for both.
The Vp & Ip meters are mounted in the front panel of the power supply. The rest will be in a separate "meter" panel.
Have to wire up the Soft-start circuit as well.

Hope to have all the DC supplies & meters done today so I can start work on the RF deck next.

Way to go Ed, I'm gona wait awhile Till this Balance issue I'm having ceases, they said it will before I go back to working on the 813 machine I still have to run the 220 up in two places and all the high voltage sections together I'm gona wait a little while first before build up my body a little bit first. Moving Trannies right now is no easy feat for me it's a bitch only weighing a 130 pounds.

I guess I'm lucky.  I've got my health and my kids. I put the radio building off for a bit and enjoyed the day with my daughter (she's 11).  The radio's will be there waiting, kids not so much.
