Selling one of my three LK-800C/TNY's. It was built for me by Bill
Edwards at Omega Electronics in 2000. It comes in two units. One is
the RF deck, housing THREE 3CX800A7's (all good, full-output tubes),
plus the tuning and control/protection circuitry. At 8"x14'"x15.5" it
sits on your desk and makes a really small footprint. The other unit,
slightly smaller (8.5"x12"x12.5"), is the external powerpac, which sits
on the floor and houses a massive Dahl transformer. Less than 70w input
easily produces 1.5kw out. On the test bench, using a 5kw dummy load
and Bird wattmeter with 5kw slug, the amp produces 3kw out with less
than 100w drive. It can handle 120w+ drive, so this one REALLY DOES
"loaf at legal limit"--all day, even in contesting and data modes
(neither of which I use). It does all amateur bands 160m-10m, and is in
PERFECT OPERATIONAL CONDITION: all controls, switches, meters, etc. work
smoothly and as designed. There is an effective dual-speed fan.
COSMETICALLY IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL: front panel, knobs, lettering,
lights, meter faces etc, are all excellent. Amp Supply documentation
included. PayPal oK. $2,795 + shipping from 50613 (two boxes). Compare
to ANY of the so-called "export" amps that go for $5000+. Tks es 73! jan
