[Elecraft] KPA500 age

[john at kk9a.com]

Thanks to all that responded to my question regarding the age of a KPA500
that I purchased last week. I received a lot of useful clues to the age of
this amp, amazingly one guy in Sweden had a KPA500 with a serial number
only 20 units higher. As I suspected, this amp was no where near one year
old as advertised and the seller has been unresponsive since 2 July when I
questioned him on the age. He was either mistaken or attempted fraud. If
mistaken and responsive we probably could have worked something out. To
those that stated there is nothing that ages in the amp and that there
have been few updates, I could not care less. I do not do business this
way, the amp has been shipped back and I have demanded a refund.

73,
John

I hate to bother Elecraft with this question, I am hoping someone here can
give me an age estimate of a KPA500 with a serial number in the low 1300s.
The seller claims that it is a year old and I suspect that it is much
older.
