  After many years of  amplifier construction activity and warehousing  projects at  all level  of completion, the time has arrived  to undertake some serious  inventory reduction initiatives.  Similar projects have already been sold with several remaining. Currently, I’m offering a prototype, retrofitted, 95% completed 6m amplifier built on a Heath SB230 chassis w/OEM transformer. The amp is  retrofitted with a new and completely installed GI7B tube and circuitry  and dedicated  to 6m  operation. This project will definitely  have appeal  for a radio amateur seeking  some additional 6m  DX/contesting  power in the pileups and available with minimal cash outlays.  The package is a fully assembled  600w dedicated amplifier  available  to those who enjoy building and  favor  a project  with a minor amount  of work  required to get it on line.  Package includes a brand  new GI7B Russian tube, high quality custom socket and chimney mounted on a pressurized enclosure, new capacitor board, HV  plate choke, new  filament transformer,  complete tank circuit, front panel tuned input.  blower,  and an  antenna and  time delay relay in place and functional.  Makes 2400VDC plate voltage.  To be clear, it’s a complete package fully wired with all circuits functional except for completing the bias wiring, final tweaking, and integrating the Heath meter into the plate current circuit.  The Zener diode, antenna/plate tune capacitors, pilot light, and operate/standby switch, are all in place. No further hardware or components are required. The Heath enclosure is free of bangs, dents, or dings . $375+ shipping  However, would prefer  pickup in the Scranton, PA area.
