That has to be the simplest built amp I've ever seen!
And they call that a 'Fat Boy'?
Hate to see what skinny looks like!

Fat boy amps works great on am, i dont know about SSB but there are competition amps. I had one and had great am swing. I would like to know how good are they on SSB.
That's because it has 1446's in it, and not 2879's!
Look at it...Then look at this "No Name/ASS Kicker box"
And a Davemade...

No offense towards anyone but that amp is as simple as the one posted further up.

Yep...But it has 2879's, which is what the guy asked to see...
He asked to see a fatboy with a fan and 2879's.
Yep...couldn't find the Fatboy tho...But what ya bet, it will look similar...
The Fatboy I have here used the smaller tranformer, no idea how it worked, picked it up as a project (DOA) and haven't gotten around to it yet....
It looks pretty much like the one Booty posted, except of course it had 2879 transistors in it, they all look pretty damn close to the same anyhow... If you really need an inside look let me know and I'll go grab it off "The Pile" as my Son so fondly called my growing collection of radio junk

ok well i finally got it so ill take some pics for everyone else to have and here they are
nice box but on a 12 volts supply dont expect much more than 170 watts am i havent put it on my peak meter yet but as far as RMS goes it ends at 170 on AM but on SSB with a good long HELLLO into it it pegs the 200 watt scale so yeah it likes to swing.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
dirty red NEC wavin bye bye

You cannot measure SSB power without a peak reading meter. It will read totally different than an am signal on an averaging meter.
