Hello all,

An old friend of mine, Joe Horton, K3FPE, loaned me a Yeasu, FL-2000 Linear 
Amplifier some time ago, but I decided to get a new Ameritron AL-572 
amplifier recently and Joe said that I could pass it on to the Carroll 
County Amatuer Radio Club, if we want it.  He said that we could do anything 
we wish with it, use it, sale it or give it away.  The amplifier seems 
complete and has a manual.  It is set up to run on 110 Volts, 1 Phase.  It 
will operate on 80 thru 10 meters at about 1200 watts input with about 30- 
50 watts of drive.  It uses (4) 6KD6 run in parallel and has a built in 
power supply.  It will need some repairs as when I powered it up, I noticed 
that the indicator lights seem to be burned out and the on-off switch is 
shorted in the ON position.  All four tubes do light up and the blower fan 
operates.  I did not apply any RF so I cann't say how the amp functions.  It 
does have a manual and schematic, so it shouldn't be too hard for someone to 
put it back in full working order.

I thought it would make an interesting item for one of our internal club 
auctions with or without the repairs ahead of time?

What do you all think?

John, K3KWO
