You are correct Sir. It is on 120v. So given all the above, this tube is likely in full operational condition but unless 240 is used it will not achieve its full potential. Sadly if I had the amp 6 ft from the breaker box I would be relegated to either the laundry room or the garage. Though the...

@nomadradio thoughts or opinion on above?

Yes, do tell. May save a lot of scrap yard boxes for another generation.

I used to think the 6LQ6s were expensive 10 years ago when I had my tubers. Wow!

Asked some people via PM but using it with my phone is well I screwed it up. One person responded and then apparently I deleted their answer when responding with more specifics below and the other either didn't see, or couldn't be bothered with me, which I also understand completely but I still...

He has a few I've never heard of or seen.

I haven't tried FM with the AL80A as I don't want to flatten the tube. I know it's an all mode amplifier but I'm nervous lol.

I was influenced upon. Took my ears away.

And the required coupling nut, yes. I've put 1000 PEP through it and I think it was a 1.4 SWR? It was 1.2 barefoot I think. I COULD get it lower but I never readjusted the rings. The expansion piece lowered the SWR on its own when I slapped it up to test I had a thats good enough moment and just...

No. I bought a Yaesu FT710 instead. @Retro CB Guy does have a modified one I believe though. He may have some ideas for you. I *think* it uses a hygain chassis though I could be wrong.

That's why I went for the Yaesu FT710 and Ameritron AL 80A. Everything else except the TRC 457 (just for asthetics) went into the closet. Wife was getting annoyed with the radio clutter. Now she's happy. I'm happy. If I'd just spent the 2k ish up front and saved by not spending on all the RCIs...

Tried that and soft scrub no bueno. But honestly it's no longer really a concern for me. No one seemed interested and I'm not that bothered by it myself, was just trying to get rid of it for the next owner. As it appears I AM the next owner I stuffed it in the closet with the Magnums, RCIs...

Come on Jeff. Surely you're having a laugh..at least one hopes...

Tried that 1st. Didn't affect the discolouration made short work of the adhesive properties.

I did try vinegar previously. Lightened slightly but didn't clear it. Washed it off and popped it into the closet. I wish I knew what was in that sticker adhesive. Crazy.

Pop. Station exits RF world.

Phantom discoloration remains. Acetone failed. Beats the heck out of me. Sticker must have had some kind of strange, magic, chinese adhesive. Probably doesn't matter as there hasn't been any interest and after reading some horror stories of ebay part swappers I'm happier just stuffing it in the...

Ooof. Well too late for me, I've done a thing as they say.
