I set up dummy load and had a tentative transmit on my T128 this afternoon. seems to sort of "work", with a pleasant sounding clear audio on a nearby rx.

The unit has not been tuned in a long time so clearly requires setting up as per the manual, which I will get around to.

meatime, I wonder if any more experienced hands can advise me about this -
the middle TT22 valve of the three in the PA, upon key-down, starts to glow noticably hotter than its neighbours, and there is a hint of blue glow around the base.
does it mean that the bottle has gone "soft" or is this a normal symptom of an un-neutralised pa?

also was somewhat perturbed that the aerial amps needle was not moving at all. although I have not actually checked the movement of the meter.
