IIRC about 2-4 years ago I saw a presentation on the design of the ARBEIII from it's maker at the MARC Extravaganza meet. It seemed like a fairly conservative design to me. If your radio needs 3 amps and the supply can handle 3 amps (on the output terminals you intend to use), then it should probably work....I'd try it, and see if the supply runs reasonably cool, and that it is not adding hum...If you see excessive hum or heat then you are overtaxing the supply and should try another.

Thank you Tom. I think in the end I'm going to be using the set with the A UV's being I like to play my sets. It's been a very surprising to me to see just how much better the A tube UV's are. It's really like night and day. No wonder I don't see anyone else using the early tubes in the set!
