[Central-Electronics] Amplifier for CE-20

[Jim Candela]

Tom,

     The best choice here is the CE 600L amplifier. It is a better match 
to the 20A than it is to the 100V/200V series exciters. If you are 
looking for something cheap, look for a Dentron MLA-2500 with used up 
finals. These amps are sometimes cheap, work 160M, and are ripe for a 
wide choice of tube substitutes. If your real lucky, you might find one 
with just one dud tube. That would be almost perfect to your needs.

    I have a MLA-2500 here, and I shoe-horned a 8877 in there. The gain 
is about 13 db, and a 20A gives about 15 watts PEP (depending on the 
band - 40, 15, 10 less), so 15 watts with 13 db gain provides 300 watts 
output.

    If your into home brewing, a single, or dual 813 amplifier (grid 
driven) would fit the bill nicely, and do so on a budget.
