FS: Henry 3006 6M Legal Limit+ Amplifier

This is the legendary Henry 3006, with an easy-to-drive Eimac 8877 tube.

It's in excellent condition, and will deliver 1,500 watts forever, due 
to the tube and beefy power supply.

I've worked DXCC and WAS with this amp.  I've worked JA, too - both 
short path and long path!

The "CW/SSB" (high/low voltage) switch started to arc earlier this 
year.  After conferring with Laura the "Amp Lady", WB2YL, I chose to 
simply bypass the switch.  According to Laura, the switch is prone to 
arcing, and is poorly designed, and has no purpose.  Bypassing seemed 
the most reasonable action, so I followed her advice.  I also followed 
Laura's additional advice by upgrading the power supply to higher value 
bleeder resistors.  This provides two benefits: 1) The transformer does 
not make that massive "KLUNK!" sound from the inrush current, and 2) The 
power supply runs MUCH cooler, since it's not dissipating nearly as much 
heat.  While I was in there, I replaced all of the resistor ceramic 
standoff insulators, since a good number of them had cracks.

This is a great amp for 6M DXing, contesting, and JT65 EME work, since 
it's capable of long key-down periods.  Unfortunately, I have not gotten 
around to trying JT65, and have no EME stories, but it's not due to the 
lack of power.

Of course, I have pictures of the interior, exterior, and my updating 
process - just ask.

Understand that Henry console amps are heavy duty, and they are that way 
because they use BIG, HEAVY components.  This amp weighs approximately 
175 pounds.  If you want to ship this amp, it's up to you to arrange it.

Thanks for reading, and if you have any questions, just send an e-mail, 
and I'll answer it ASAP.
