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...
Offering my maybe 2 year old, from non smoking home, "Hopperbuilt" 4 pill base built in the larger new case (compared to older style) with class B bias and SSB delay for sale. Recently re-pilled with 4 brand new matched HGs from Rooster in TN. Some of you will recall I had a external low pass...
Of course that is SSB not AM and the FT-710 only has 25 watts on AM vs 100 on SSB and that is PEP but that fat old tube is beastly. People instantly come back and compliment the audio quality and punch. Guess this may be a good mashup after all of old and new tech!
The sticker is for the benefit...
Someone confused ham rig as cb radio.
Didn't know if this older radio interested anyone.

This is not my amplifier nor am I selling it I just ran across it while browsing.
I've heard these are fairly sought after maybe someone on here has an interest in it though listing says it isn't presently working. Seller states no shipping but we all know that can be overcome with money...
So 1st set of 2 pictures is my 2x2879 blue faced filtered palomar/skipper/magnum/cobra/galaxy
(That diode mess on mine was not my work and I just noticed it after 15 years - yikes)
The second set of 3 is one for sale on ebay. What in God's name has befallen this poor amp. And what did it ever...
Ok @unit_399 I completed the mod you advised.
(Eagle eyed viewers may note the diode is standing way up in the air - took the picture before I substantially lowered its position) on the plus side makes it easy to see the changes. Resistor to diode and old blue cap to green cap.

Are these as easy to convert as Icom 7300 and if so is the frequency complete coverage as USA Icom 7300 is with MARS mod? And having said all this can these 100 Watters be nerfed down so they don't explode my 4 pill box and still have that lovely real radio audio?
Equipment like this may push me...
Is this a radio that can be fairly simply converted to cover 11m and if so what is its converted range and finally is it worth bothering.
Thanks in advance to the elmers.
Started on collecting spree even though retirement not for 10 years yet. As will be overseas in Philippines acquiring things like this will be harder and far more expensive so starting now.
Now have 3 plus 3 cleaned repaired repaired and a plus 2 and a few others.
Now if I find an expander 500...
Rooster in tennesee has whatever this is and I have equipment envy.
However I can't seen to figure out what model this is. I THINK it's an Icom but I don't know that it is.
Of course our wonderful postal service couldn't let a pristine radio arrive unbroken so they did IDK what to it and broke and cracked the chrome trim on the body freaking heathens. Not the sellers fault. I was able to bring 3 out of 4 lights back to life but 4th is gone.
Do I have to cut solder...
So this is what happens and I can't seem to find it. I'm on the ground but happens in the air as well. I've tested the coax, I've swapped antenna lines on the switch makes no difference. I start out ok (keep in mind it's on the ground so swr is relative and just for example) starts at 2...
