ANYONE KNOW WHO BUILT THE TX-600 LINEARS ?

Sorry I didn't see or find this post years ago...
But yes, I built the TX amps in Anaheim, had a shop in Fullerton after that.
No schematics were ever drawn, they were in my head. I'm still running my TX amp... you?
and no I did not make the "Pirate" boxes... I did make a few 16 transistor amps for competition and DX hunters.. but they were unbranded. Have recently retired from working in Cellular and back to radio/amps etc in rural Idaho
Thanks for the reply, Steve. Let me say that I've run a lot of different amplifiers over the years, and your TX 600 is by far the best. Clean and RELIABLE. I bought it new sometime in the mid-80s, and have been running it constantly every since. First in my mobile, and now on my base with an external supply. I would not trade it for anything. Good luck in Idaho, and 73s.

Not sure about a TX-600, but I used to build the TX-300 & TX-800's in SoCal back in the late 80's. The guy I worked for sold the company to a guy in Louisiana, and I went there to help train them up. I never found anyone to do the work and came back home. I don't think they were produced after that.
I wasn't the original builder, I just worked for a guy in his garage in Anaheim getting paid cash daily to build them.

Hey Steve, nice to meet you. I knew of you but never met you that I know of. Lee (Doc Audio) introduced me to a man in Anaheim who I ended up working for building these amps until he sold it off to a guy in Louisiana.
That was a long time ago, lol. I too live in Idaho, North Idaho to be a bit more specific. I realize this is an old thread but perhaps you'll run across my comment someday.
Yea, I was just hoping he may browse by again someday and see my comment. I would love to know the full story, and why I was building them at that time. I had suspected there was a falling out of some kind, but the man I was working for never said a word. I wish I could remember his name, but that was 30yrs ago. lol
Prob. dead! That said forums like this are not a great place for someone looking to sell items. That said 4 years and 21 weeks is a bit long to stay gone. Normally if you are a professional you pop on a sight like this maybe 3-4 times a year. You avoid anything negative or controversial. This way at the very least you will not drive any business away.
