And Oh BTW  your luck might have a bit of tarnish...the RF-112a  power
supply is 3 phase only...  your better luck will be to find a Rf-124  it is
a single phase supply  ..  same power connectors and wiring between units
.. just different input voltages/phase's  73 mac/mc

Subject: [Milsurplus] Whoosh, what a find...!

I've often been accused by friends of mine of having the darndest luck when
scrounging for surplus goodies. I received some rather substantial proof of
that luck today when I located, of all things, a Harris RF-110A linear amp
and its matching RF-112A power supply at -- of all places! -- Boeing Surplus
Sales here in Kent.

The unit was nearly immaculate, physically speaking, done up in nice Navy
gray, and it even had its power and interconnecting cable with it. I expect
to be able to at least borrow a manual for it tomorrow. In case I can't,
does anyone know if LOGSA or a similar agency has a .PDF available to
download? Or what the military equivalent number of this monster is?

My price was a stunning total of $265.00. Unless I'm seriously mistaken, I
would have trouble finding one of the output tubes (Eimac 4CX1500B's) for
that.

As you might imagine, I'm counting my blessings. ;-) My next task will be to
either (1); Find a matching Harris receiver/exciter to go with it, or (2);
Figure a way to interface its auto-tuning capability to a Sunair GSB-900DX,
and to tap off the Sunair's RF output so that I'm getting the requisite 100
or so milliwatts required by the amp.

And that frelling power supply is HEAVY, but just in one corner! I've not
opened it up yet, but I'm assuming the HV transformer is what's adding all
the weight. I think I'll build a custom roller-base for it out of 2x4's and
some good casters.

Keep the peace(es).
