Cobra XL-450 Amplifier

[the missing link]

For sale: Cobra XL-450 Amplifier in pretty excellent condition.

The only real flaw is fixable. For whatever reason, the previous owner decided the engraved labels for the two SO-239 connectors weren't good enough and had to write their labels with a sharpie on the back of the amplifier. This would probably clean of pretty easily. Other than that, it's in excellent condition and does what it's supposed to.

I've included a picture of the inside, looks all original to me. Too bad the ground strap common to the 4 transistor models of these amplifiers cover the markings on the transistors - look like Toshiba markings to me? Could be 2290s.

Either way, these are desirable for their effective AB biasing & filtering circuits making them ideal for producing clean output on SSB.

Hope He is doing ok... Time goes too fast.

I just got done buying the 350 variants for $200 a piece (including shipping). Maybe once I can actually get a bigger power supply I will try and buy that version...
