If you're looking for the best QRO++++ amp around, you've found it.
I am selling my own mint (yes, absolutely MINT) LK-800C/TNY,
hand-crafted especially for me ion 2001, to the tune of $2,300 over the
cost of the original amp, by K4BWC, Bill Edwards, long-time Service
Manager for Amp Supply and now long-time prop. of Omega Electronics, the
best high-power amp operation in the business. Entire external
transformer/power supply module was built from scratch by hand by Bill,
with step-start and in-rush protection. Front panel is brand new, as
are many internal parts. Cabinet is virtually flawless. Tubes (THREE
3CX800's) have less than 100 hours, no contesting or data modes (I used
it ONLY for 80m DXing, and am closing my 80m station). I have the Omega
documentation of all Bill's work, plus copies of all LK-800
documentation.
This amp is as close to perfect as any you'll ever see. It will do
1.5kw with about 60w drive. Output is 2.5kw with 100w drive. At 120+w
drive, output into a 5kw dummy load with Bird wattmeter (5kw element)
exceeds 4kw!
I will sell this amp for $3,795 + shipping, no discounts and no trades,
and that's as cheap a deal for QRO++++ as you'll ever see. If you doubt
it, feel free to call Bill at Omega (1-919- 266-7373) and ask him about
this amp; just mention that it's mine and he'll know which one you're
talking about.
Tks es 73! jan N0JR
