Hello Marty:

Those are pretty well made amps. The Aux band switch position can be
used for 12, 11, and 10 meters. Not a big deal to mod.

There ALC protection in the Ameritron Amps is quit impresive I think.

I have seen the Ameritron Amp with 2 each 3CX800 Tubes also do a cool
2500 out. Pretty impressive power levels, if you have the right
antenna

to be able to deal with that much steam.

Your price is a good price if I was in the market I would have been
intretsed. Saw a Ameritron 1500 that uses the 3CX1500 Tube at the TRW
Swap Meet selling for 2000, and it was in good shape, but only lasted
a

minuites there.

What I would like to see is more modification info on these larger
amps
to go to 6 meters. Especially the mod info that shows the plate tank
coil tap, and input matching mods. Some of the hard core 6 meter guys
have bought brand new Band Switching Switches, so that the extra band
could ber added, without loosing the other band capibility. Maybe
even a
relay that would allow the 12, 11, and 10 meter poistion to be used,
or
the 6 meter band, yeah!

Anyway good luck

10 meters illegally
