I am ready to build another, with bigger finals( higher plate dissipation DH Pentode ), and kicked off the group purchase over in the Group Build forum to take advantage of the bulk-rate pricing. Slight mods to the 10k a-a OPTx, on the g2/E-Linear tap location. Fortunately that design has end-of-layer points every 10% across the anode winding.

The Merlin circuit keeps suprising me, even in its low power execution by how good it sounds. I wish I could take it to RMAF for a larger audience to audition and examine.

and to Wayne: I'd suggest getting in on the E-Linear output TX buy...the price is quite attractive. Or wait for round II.
cheers,
Douglas
