TMC 1 KW PEP amplifier with power supplies, interconnect cables in 6 ft rack on rollers. 
Originally an SBT-1K(J) model used on rtty. The RTTY units and VOX unit were sold 
separately so what remains is basically a PAL-1K. Amp requires less than 2W PEP to drive it 
to full output. Manual says 2W PEP. Manual(s) that pertain to it are included. Also have a 
schematic that shows what items should be changed to convert it from an 8295 PA tube to a 
4CX1500B which is an equivalent and more readily available. This unit does not get used 
much as it is located remotely in the garage. Final tube is questionable. I have spares but 
do not think that they are any better than the one in the amp. I am able to get 450W output in 
CW mode and 250W in AM mode which is rated power under the 1 KW PEP rating.

TMC PAL-500 amp with HV power supply and interconnect cable (factory) and manual. Unit 
uses a pair of 4CX350A tubes. Tuned properly it will put out 200W of AM carrier. I never run 
it over 125W output so the equipment doesn't stress components as they could be hard to 
find. Power supply is a bit heavy so shipping would be very costly. Recommend pickup 
only. This unit gets used a lot as it's physically in the shack. The 80K screen voltage 
dropping resistor in the power supply was open due to a shorted point on one of the tube 
sockets. I replaced the socket and built a suitable mounting for power resistors to replace 
the 80K unit as they are not available. Otherwise the unit is stock. The interconnect cable 
between the amp and power supply is not a common item so having a factory made one is a 
bonus due to the connectors used.

$1000 for the 1 KW amp.

$1250 for the PAL-500.

I also have a TMC GPE-1A exciter that is an AM-CW-MCW exciter for these units. It puts 
out around 2W PEP and is a perfect match for the two amps listed above. It can be used 
with either Xtal or external VFO drive. I use it on 7293 which is the West coast AM frequency 
in general. It uses a 2-4 Mc input and then multiplies to other band segments, ie; 4-8 mc, 8-
16 mc and 16-32 mc. All controls are on the front panel including a meter to monitor your 
modulation in the exciter and also the output power, both of which are adjustable from a 
control on the front. Mic and Key jacks on the front panel as well. RF input and output are 
BNC type connectors on the back. A barrier strip on the back provides access to other audio 
and relay switching contacts. I currently use a D-104 mic and it sounds extremely good. As 
the mic connector is a 6 pin din type, if i have an extra one i will include it with the exciter. I 
will not sell the exciter until the PAL-500 or 1 KW amp are sold.

$350 for this unit. This equipment is in very good shape, not beaten up.
