I have the following Icom items for sale. I bought all of this gear in 2004 or so, used  it about a month or two, then sold my home (and tower), and moved to a new qth. I have not had a chance to put up any antennas yet, and the stuff has been sitting in the original boxes and it all could pass for new. The agreement with the XYL was that certain home finishings were to be done before the new monster tower goes up, so it will be awhile before I get an antenna array up.  As the cost of steel keeps rising, I figured I'd offload some gear to start the new tower cash fund.   

Icom IC-PW1 amplifier.  The later style (bypass capable) version. Serial # 13xx.  Factory 10/12m mod (diode removal) professionally done. Not a scratch on it. Used maybe a dozen times if that.    Includes original boxes and all paperwork and cables. Could pass for new.
$4250

Icom IC-756PRO2 HF transceiver. Includes voice synthezier board. Also in as-new condition with all original accessories and original box. Could pass for new.  Used about 4 or 5 times.  It has been in it's original box for the past three years.  
$2150

Icom IC-910H VHF/UHF transceiver. Includes two optional UT-106 DSP boards, and the voice synthesizer board. (sorry, NO 1.2 module) Like the above, it is also in the original box with all original accessories, and could pass for new. 
$1400

I also have a brand new IC-CT17 CI-V interface box that has never been used. 

I'll take $6300 for the PW1, 756PRO2, and CT17.  Or if someone wants the whole station, I'll make a package deal of $7600 for the amp, two radios, and interface.

I also have a Henry 3K Premier floor-standing console ampliier.  As they don't build em like this anymore, I was planning on keeping it forever, but since I won't be using if for some time, I mind as well move it as well.  Uses Eimac 3CX1200A7 tube, HD transformer (4400v plate voltage @ 1a), vaccum relay QSK, 10-160m, 100w in equals 2000w out (20x input). I had Ted make this with a few custom options just before he retired from building HF amps - factory installed UHF/SO239 connectors (rather than std BNC in, N out),  matching Spinner style knob on tuning inductor, factory installed casters (to allow easy movement), and newer/later style black cabinet shells to match newer, modern gear. 

This amp has about 10 hours filament time, and maybe 1-2hours actual keydown time.  I bought this amp "just because".  You know how it is - a friend has one, you want one...  I had a few other amps prior to this - a Commander HF2500 (which had inherrent design flaws causing grid current drift issues), a few Ameritrons (nothing but junk), and a few others I care not to remember. This is the only amp I have ever used that when you ran it, you didn't have any worries of what weak link may blow. This amp will loaf at 2kw+ all day long, and then some.  You can't buy a better built amp today, and there's no proprietary microprocessor boards to worry about when the mfg dissappears (remember that when you're Alpha acts up in a few years).  
$3500 picked up in central NJ.  

All prices plus shipping. Except the Henry - no easy way to ship this monster!   Pics available upon request.I will guarantee these items to be in as-new condition or I will refund your money. Any piece of gear from my station could pass for new. Non smoker home.  All is available for in-person inspection by serious buyers. Feel free to contact me via cell if interested.
