I have acquired an Amplex KW-62 amplifier that was commercially built in the
late 50's by a firm in Michigan. It is similar to the ARCOS and W2GN
amplifiers using a pair of 4CX250B's with interchangeable heads for 6 and 2
meters. I have only the 6 meter head though expect to build one for 2 meters
perhaps.

I am in the process of building a power supply for it and wonder if any more
of these exist anymore? I would be very interested in acquiring a 2 meter
head outright or swap for the 6 meter head.

I found a review of the amplifier in QST from 1957 but that is all the
documentation I have.

Thanks for the bandwidth and I hope to hear from someone who has another
one!
