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
