Any Thoughts on the 757 amps?

The trick is to have the radio up front spew out the garbage. Bird meters are only accurate reading a steady signal such as CW. Modulated signals with these radios and reading with a Bird peak kit can make these snake oil salesmen appear to be gods.
I key 10 Watts and swing to 60 clean peak and get about the same at 15 Volts.
I've read several people on Facebook radio forums talking about the poor quality, poor shipping( arrive damaged)and that 757 blocks them when they complain, want a refund, or just want the amp fixed and working properly like they paid for ! Apparently once the amps are shipped he washes his hands of them whether they arrive damaged or whether they work or not, once he gets your money you're dead to him !
He's the same way with ham gear. I bought a Ten-Tec Centurion amp from him. It was supposed to have "fresh" tubes and be working perfectly. When it arrived, I found the "fresh" tubes were 18.5 years old. The amp itself is non-functional. When I complained to Nick he accused me of being a "part swapper" and said he was done with the transaction. He is not an honest person.
Yeah the list of people Nick has ripped off is growing by the day, he's going to get his soon I think.
I was just starting to consider this amp builder but not anymore after reading this.
Another sand jawa type..... Naah

I see now where Nick Strong AKA 757 amps is now being investigated by the Co. attorney general, yep his time is near !
Interesting. He ripped off enough people to warrant attention I suppose?
Probably Income Tax Evasion. Since selling 11M amplifiers is illegal, he probably doesn't report the income.
