I found this tube amp on CL. It looks to me home made and well constructed, 3 tubes and 10-60 or 80 meters.
1st if it works on 10 meters will it work on 11?
Second the guy has no tuner to test it with, but said it powers up and had a ham friend go thru it and all looks to be well put together.
3rd what are the toggle switches for? Ssb?
He wants 275$ for it. I plan on getting my ham ticket soon and would like to start getting some gear together.Talk me out of it. Here is the add:
I have for sale a ham radio amplifier which I acquired some years ago from a old "elmer" that liked to build these in his leisure time. I have little to no knowledge about this or any other tube amps. I have given this to several knowledgeable hams for inspection and they all agree that everything appears to be as it should, and the manner of construction is outstanding. It does power up but has not been tested on the air. I haven't got the suitable setup to test it. Their inspections however were all consistent with its ability to function as it should in every respect. They believed it to be rated at 1000w. Please inspect the pictures closely and I'm sure you'll agree with its quality and attention to detail. I am pricing this less than I paid for it because I am no longer involving myself in ham radio for now.
I am asking $275 b/o
Thanks for looking
