[Elecraft] FS: Mint Condition KPA500 (Ser # 0585)

[Jim Bennett]

Mint condition Elecraft KPA500 HF/6m 500 watt+ amplifier, serial number 0585. I purchased and built it in early December, 2011. It is in absolute mint condition, works perfectly, has spent it's entire life in a non-smoking environment, and has been kept covered when not in use - no dust!

The amp comes with the KPA-to-K3 Aux cable (KPAK3AUX), the US Power Cable (PWR-US), original Elecraft Owner's manual and Elecraft Assembly Instructions. The amp has been very lightly / occasionally used in my air conditioned home, and is set for 117V operation. It has worked flawlessly with this voltage. 

OK, why am I selling it? Simply, I need the money. I just spent $1,500 upgrading my K3 to add the second receiver and filters, along with the addition of the K144XV 2 meter module. My XYL (KF6ZNT) and I are planning on an extended vacation / family reunion to her homeland in the southern Philippines. I want a KX3 to take over there to operate. XYL sez it isn't gonna happen unless something goes! Unfortunately, the KPA500 is being sacrificed.

I'm offering it ONLY to USA buyers - no foreign inquiries, please! Price for this superb condition KPA500, cables, and manuals is only $1,925 - free shipping. If you live close by Sacramento / Folsom, CA and want to pick it up (or see it in operation first), I will deduct $25 from the price.

I will accept cash or PayPal only.
