Illegal linear Sparky
2.5K...hmmm. BAD ham!
Hello, I have a Like New, one owner Ameritron AL-1200 Amp for 10-160 meters. I have only used it a handful of times on 17 meters. When I bought it from AES 2 years ago, I had an Electrical Engineering friend come down to test it, as I am visully impaired. It did about 2.5 KW into a Oil Filled Dummy Load. I keep it covered when not in use and I am a non-smoker. I had a deal and he couldn't come up with the money, but it is all packed in its original boxes. I am asking $1800 and I will ship, or 1725, and you ship from near Pgh, Pa. I can be reached at or 724-875-9357 Thanks for reading this, 73, es g.b. Regards, Marty, W3QK |

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 Jay in the Mojave RF Police wrote: 2.5K...hmmm. BAD ham!
