I am selling out my ICOM HF station.  I just don't use it enough anymore, I
hate seeing it sitting here covered in dust (wife will not dust in the ham
shack).  Station is:

ICOM IC-781 transceiver.
ICOM IC-2KL Solid state Amplifier (export).
ICOM IC-AT500 Auto Antenna Tuner.
ICOM IC-SP20 Matching filtered speaker.
ICOM IC-SM8 Microphone.

The IC-781 serial number is like 19xx IIRC - need to verify that.  The front
panel is perfect.  I have the original box, the accessory plug & fuse bag, 2
original manuals, a service manual, and a spare CRT (new in the sealed box).
The SSB filters are the ICOM 2.4, and the ICOM 1.9 KHz units.  The original
wide SSB and AM filters are with it but not installed.  The CW filters are
the stock 500 and 300 Hz ICOM filters.  It has the voice synthesizer
installed.  It also has the Sherwood cooling fan installed, and the meter
lamp has been replaced by LEDs.  There is also a set of rack handles.
Yesterday I tried it out, I made a contact on 60m SSB, 15m CW, and two on
20m SSB.  It is working well, I would rate it in GOOD condition.

The IC-2kl and matching P/S is in excellent shape.  It has new capacitors in
the DC supply, new DC-DC converter, front panel is perfect  NOTE:  The
IC-2KL is the export model, factory installed 10/12m with front panel
indicators.  Original boxes and manuals, no parts bag (not certain there
ever was one).  This amp is in VERY GOOD condition.

IC-AT500 in good shape, front panel perfect.  Original box and manual
included.  This tuner is in VERY GOOD condition.  Spare antenna relay
included (but not needed).

SP-20 speaker works fine, front panel perfect.  The speaker is in VERY GOOD
condition.

IC-SP8 microphone shows some wear, works fine  Call it FAIR to GOOD
condition because of the wear on it.

I am asking $3350 plus actual shipping cost, with the 781 and 2KL/PS
professionally boxed (they are heavy).  I would like to sell it as a whole
station, but I will entertain serious inquires about parting it out.  If I
get a want for every piece and no offers for the full station, then I will
break it up.

If you want to know why I am selling, check my profile on QRZ.  Over 1000
contacts in the last two years, and less than 10 on the 781.  I just don't
use it anymore.

I also have an R-9000 that will probably get sold once the 781 is gone.  I
rate it in FAIR condition, but it does work.  I got it used, the original
owner wasn't careful with what was stacked on top, the CRT was badly burned,
but was replaced.
