You got'a love the Clipper!!!

there is no way the price should triple like it has!!! If you're going to own a Farrari, don't bitch when you need to replace the clutch! Besides - Who buys a tube amplifier w/o buying a back-up tube(s)? Just my 2 cents worth...

READING YOUR OWN THREAD I could've sworn I said the same thing 9 posts back, & Bionic Chicken said the same thing 4 posts back & even gave you a re-direct to my post...... :headbang So much for guys reading their OWN thread. :cursing:

"go have a look at a real linear amplifier with 4X2SC2879's designed by some people who actually know how to build amplifiers and ask your self why their 4X2SC2879 box is only rated at 500-600W" (ALS-500M) If a 2SC2879 is a 100 watt device - how is Ameritron coming up w/the extra 100-200W...

First off, I want to apologize to Freecell for my last post as I MEANT NO DISRESPECT towards him. His immense wealth of knowledge is what is needed on a site like this so folks (like me) can hopefully learn before burning up very expensive & sometimes RARE equipment!! I'm curious Linearone, I...

WOW!!! I should've gotten some popcorn before reading this thread!! :thumbup: Actually, it's been quite informative (& FUN!!) to listen to two guys w/ their quite different beliefs, opinions, views,.... whatever you want to call it. I currently run a TS-667V into what I'm guessing is a...

Hey BC, you ever heard "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink?" Yup.... :headbang I normally put in "my 2 cents worth", but this one's FREE!

It is nice to have a link to some high grade pictures for a change! It looks like a Super Scout as BC & others have already said. W/o seeing the underneath, I can't be positive but it looks like: 4ea.- 6KV6A tubes or equivilent (6JG6A or 6JT6A output will be a little less) 6ea.- 6MJ6...

Their built like tanks! Quality throughout & you won't need a "driver" (modulator, etc.), unless you want to replace tubes often! They kinda look like the newer Maco's in their layout, & the only "issues" I've had w/ either amp was the keying circuit. Changed to a TIP-31 trans. & "good 2 go"...

It's amazing ain't it!!! I don't know how many people I've tried to explain that to... , to get power out, you must put power in!! I've bought more than a few amps (base & mobiles) only because it wasn't doing "what it should". I bought a "BIG" maco sweep tube amp (3-8950's dri. 8-M2057's)...

WOW!!! My heart skipped a beat when I read that name! I owned a Telstar Magnum a few years ago & WOW is the only way to describe it! It was my introduction into ceramic tube amps & since I had owned 25-30 sweep tube amps by then I was kinda sceptical about it. It had 2 dead tubes & a Peter...

It's funny how many different RF wattage ratings there are listed for the 10 & 12 tube Phantoms!! I've owned several (8 or 9) 12 tube amps, & using either a Maco 5Kw, a Palomar 500, or Bird 43P watt meter... I normally would see around 850 - 900 clean watts out w/ 15-20 watts of drive. Thats...

Just my two (2) cents, but it sounds kinda like a CSJ (cold solder joint). I've had a few tube radios more than one amp that would tune up "correctly" w/it was warm, but let it cool down 20 min.+ & come back to "NUTHEN". I've learned a lot when it comes to high voltages & decades old...

Hello all! I've got a couple of old "Boat Anchors"... {ALL ARE WORKING w/NOS tubes} Also, feel free to e-mail me if'n you need any tubes as I've got plenty of extras. SR
