Very cool, John, and welcome to the wonderful world of tube amps! I look forward to seeing and hearing the results of your work on it. Have a good one and 73s!
I have one just like it. I haven't used it since 1978. I talked skip from Decatur Alabama to the Mojave Desert in California. I have QSL cards from everywhere. The coil in the front is what changes it from Amateur to CB. I think for it to be the 27 mghrtz the coil has to be shortened. I had a set of Shooting Stars 4 element beams and an Astroplane. The Preacher from the local Church came by and told me that everytime he said amen I would say 10-4. Bleeding on their sound system. I took everything down and joined the Church and never ran a base station after that. With the Scout and a D-104 I was bleeding on the TV's and the telephones back then.............Trailblazer
Hey John Holy smoke, i've not seen one of those Scout 20 tube amps for an age. If i remember right they have 4 tubes 2 driver tubes, but i could be wrong, its been a long time. I do know this i have seen those push over 800 watts on Hi power !!!! Thats one sweet gift. 73 My friend, good luck. 337 Paul UK.
Thanks Paul, I watched a RUclips video of 1 of these amps being driven with 30 watts. it was doing over 800 watts! I would never drive it that hard....But it's nice to know it can do that much. 73's 337, from 151 SC.

It's about the same condition , but has never been worked on except for tube swaps....It was working perfect when put up , but we all know how that goes with older caps, switches and pots......
Not sure if you’ve dug in to that amp yet. I would check the filter caps in the high voltage section, typically they use a voltage doubler , if any of those are shorted it will take out the fuse, incidentally the fuse might be part of the high voltage path, the relay when closed will short across a series limiting resistor which pops when it is keyed. No matter the cause that size of fuse is crazy as you a,ready know. Good luck!

id have to say that fuse should be like a 30 maybe even bigger and put a bigger power cord on it i had a eagle 500 could of had bigger tubes but that did 1000 to 1300 so just becus that amp sez 500 on it you it will probley do more my blj 600 was coverted to 220v and that did around 2000 always remember when u turn those tube amps on let them idle and worm up for at least 5mins before key it up

It is a 500 watt amp. The three way power switch is to reverse polarity. Mine is called a " Mud Duck"
I checked the back of the switch, and it only has 2 of the 3 pins connected.
I'm guessing someone replaced it with what they had.

Hi I like your videos 151

It can just be the inrush current on tired caps too that will pop a fuse. Capacitors won't block DC until they get some charge.
I have one of those works pretty good would like to put new tubes in it be waiting on you to make the next video
