I wasn't sure if it was appropriate or not.
$2600 for the HL-1.5Kfx  It has no marks or scratches, looks like new, 
runs 1 KW +/- 100 watts SSB and CW out on HF with 800 on 6-meters  while 
staying cool and quiet. Auto band switching, but is is particularly 
sensitive to SWR. The output will drop off by 100 to 200 watts by the 
time you hit 1.3:1 which makes a tuner essential for HF, but it'll hit 
800 on six over the bottom 200 -250 KHz or where ever the antennas is 
set up for. Around 1.5:1 the protection circuit will trip. It has a very 
good protection circuit which will shut down do to: wrong band, too much 
drive, too much voltage, and too high an SWR.

I've heard it described like an extension to your transceiver and it is 
with the auto band switching. the Icoms including the 7000 are very easy 
to hook up as are the larger Yaesus, but the small Yaesus use a mini-DIN 
connector. They may have a cable for those with the amp now, but not 
when I received it. I used part of an Apple printer cable for the 
Mini-DIN end and installed the larger DIN for the amp end. 

$1100 for the Alpha 76A which also runs full output. She may be old, but 
still looks good. Not like new, but good with few beauty marks.

I also have a henry 2002A for 2-meters @ $800. Last time I ran it I got 
800 to over 1000 PEP and CW out. However I haven't had the filaments on 
in over 3 years. My little health problem from April 2007 through april 
of 2009 kinda put a damper on that project. Although I am kinda thinking 
of an expanded project now.

The reason I'm putting these amps up for sale is I'm looking at moving 
up to the Emtrons for HF and 6-meters although I might use the 76A as 
the basis for  a 6-meter conversion.

I shouldda purchased that 4CX1500B from you doc.
