General Notes

Note

Designed specifically for use with the HA-14 “KW Kompact” linear amplifier, which had no internal power supply. The HP-24 bears a striking resemblance to the HP-23, and may easily be overlooked. Look for the big red circuit breakers. References: Modification for use with screen-grid tubes. CQ. Sep 1969, p. 53.
