The first ~~person~~ non-paying member who can tell me they have worked on a GSB-900, how they know what it is, where they happened to encounter it and explain exactly how they fixed it

Well, here you go..

The amplifier uses a single 4CX1500B ceramic tetrode. The RF deck ( 60 plus lbs.) and separate robust power supply (130 plus lbs.) are built for military or commercial use. The power supply can be configured for either 110Vac or 220Vac. Recommend the 220Vac configuration.

The amplifier will auto-tune within 3 seconds into a 2:1 or better 50 ohm load using an internal Jennings vacuum cap and heavy duty variable inductor tuning network.

I am using the amplifier just as a DX pile-up breaker and can tolerate the fan noise generated by both the fan in the power supply and the RF deck. If one is looking for an amplifier that can tolerate a long winded qso, or RTTY operation, the GSL-1900a appears to meet the requirements.

Hope that meets your requirements.

If so, then donate the membership to (pick a deserving person)

No that H.A.A.R.P and it was Russian intially. Far fetched but very interesting stuff.

I have one in my office. To not give away what it is so I don't ruin the fun, there are seven knobs along the bottom and an analog meter at the top right. The second letter of the manufacturer is a u. Let the fun continue...z

ETA: Nevermind. Other people beat me to the punch.

Still no winner

Gotta have a "personal" experience with working on it, and I will ask questions

I will award a true winner

You are all wrong.

What I am about to tell you should not leave ARFCOM!! It will explain a lot of the WTF'S? we post daily.

Back before Al Gore invented the internet, He invented the GSB-900.
This device was to be used incase he lost the election. The name itself explains the device.

GSB= George "Scapegoat" Bush.
900= Nine hundred million made up things to blame on him.

There you have it.

Before anyone throws the BS flag on me, Let me state this for the whole world to see.

May God strike Michael Moore dead if what I say here is not 100% accurate!

BEst I can do is an R-390A first piece of equipment they let us break in 33S school at Devens.
For fun we yanked the ground straps on other students and watched to see if they checked them/ if not, B+ floating on the chassis ! Yow!

I thought if you cross the RGB crynix cable connector to the ambient side of the DPR signal reducer slot you would control the non-existent radio freq. wave that transmit 3 billion times faster then then the triod sector of the freq. Damn, did I get that right.

Don't ya just love team-member spoilers?? I never understand why people with team memberships always have to post answers to contests for memberships. Is recognition that important?

It's been a long night.

I was about to chime in with the right answer, but I guess I'll just remain a non-paying member.

You should answer. Maybe you'll win the bronze. At least you're eligible for it unlike several others who had to demonstrate their Google-Fu

Thanks for pointing that out to me Pal. You've now made it crystal clear. Seems that his original post was edited (Non paying memebers) after I posted this, but since you are the topic nazi for today, why don't you add something that is woryh posting - Jeesh!
