Title: For Sale, Ameritron AL-1500 Amplifier Post by: kg8v on April 28, 2015, 07:35:11 PM AL-1500 Ameritron Amp AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
For Sale: Lightly-used Ameritron AL1500 linear amplifier. I used this amp for casual QSO enjoyment, never for serious DX chasing and never for contesting. I won’t bore you with pages of specs - they’re easily found online. I’ve had it for about 3 years, and I would hazard a guess that it has had very little use compared to most. It’s never been repaired and never modified beyond the 10-meter activation. I bought it with the best available tube, an Eimac 3CX1500 / 8877, which has never been over-driven and still gives legal-limit output on all bands with about 65 watts of drive. Now for the hard part. After having been burned once, I’ve resolved to never sell a piece of high-power RF gear with return privileges. I’m sorry, but it’s too easy for the uninitiated to damage it. I can promise this amp is in absolutely perfect condition, but you must take it as is. If you pick it up, I’ll happily demonstrate it. If you can send a local ham pal to view it working, that’s fine too. The price for this nice amp is $2,795.00 . After your purchase, I’ll calculate the direct FedEx shipping cost and add that. You can then remit by Cashier’s check or U.S. Postal Money Order. I’ll ship immediately upon verification of funds, but do note it may take a few business days. For a faster turn-around, you can use Paypal by adding 3% to the purchase price to cover Paypal fees. Another option is that I can bring it to Dayton and you can give it a thorough look-over. Local pickups also welcome. Do NOT send me PM, email me at robin@edelsonlaw.com, ONLY |
