[K3PZN-List] For Sale: N3YIM's Ameritron AL-811 amplifier

[James Nitzberg]

Dear CCARCers and PVRCers,

As many of you know, my good friend and former QSL manager, "DX" Joe, N3YIM has retired from HF operation and I am testing and selling some of his more interesting equipment.

Joe has an excellent condition Ameritron AL-811 for sale.  It runs on 120v and puts out 600 watts PEP on SSB with (3) 811 tubes.  Cosmetically and electronically this unit isin extremely good condition, and was used mostly to "pounce" on DX stations.
This is an easy way to generate a bigger signal with a small footprint; the amp is quiet and will boost your 100w barefoot signal almost 8dB
(that's about 1+1/2 S-Units)

The amplifier is in my basement available for testing and use prior to purchase.  While Joe used it successfully in contests, I would recommend this as a good starter amplifier, howeverI would NOT recommend it for high duty cycle operations like RTTY, AM or sustained SSB/CW CQing for long periods of time with few answers. 
Sale price is $425 or best reasonable offer.  

Please contact me via this email if you are interested.

Thank you.

73,
