[1000mp] pesky DIN plugs...

[J. Mc Laughlin]

Dear Mike & Group:
    The company name is ACOM.  Their WEB is:
http://www.hfpower.com     They have two amplifiers.  The one tube
(manual) amplifier is a one tube Alpha with modern augmentation (and a
manual).  ACOM has added computer engineering to an old, and tested,
design to enhance value.  One can, and may, find out what is going on
with one's amplifier.    ACOM also makes a fully automatic amplifier.
Putting a fair value on the extra time that buying from Alpha has cost
me, I would have been ahead to have purchased the full-auto!
    Ask them if they are going to produce a two tube manual amplifier.
    This company (ACOM) made the 91beta (which is the same as the 99).
It is possible that there is an anti-competition contract between the
companies and that is why ACOM is not making a two tube manual amp.

    A side note.  Talking to a chap on the air who has a 91beta, I found
that parts of the 99 manual are exact copies of the 91b manual even
where things are just a bit different on the two amplifiers.

    Let us all know what you find.  73  Mac  N8TT
