SJDXA Members,

I just heard back from Molly at Alpha. She apologized for the delay.

She said that she has an Alpha 76 PA;

 

We do have a very nice Alpha 76 PA here at the moment, that might work for
your club.  It isn’t really a legal limit amp – it was built in the days of
1 kW DC input, 2 kW PEP input, but it is a nice amp for $1,850.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t include the 30 or 12 m, but it will run on 18 m.  

 

But she really recommended an Alpha 91ß.

These run about $2800.00

She promised to help us select the one with the best tubes if that is the
route we want to follow: (They are sold via HRO)

 

If you can go a little over $2k, I would really recommend one of the 91ß
amps as a very reliable and robust unit – this is especially important where
there will be multiple users.  Take a look at what they have listed and then
let me know and I can tell you which ones have the best tubes
.

 

Finally, if anyone is interested in a DEMO 9500 amp with a full 4 year
warranty and 1 year on the tubes, these are being sold for $7150.00  (reg
price $7950.00).

 

Let me know if any of you have some ideas?

Our plan was to sell our current excess inventory of “stuff” and use the
funds to purchase a better amplifier. I think we should be able to get about
$2k for our current excess items. So, we would be short for a 91ß.

 

Anyone have any thoughts? 

 

 

 

 

See ya' in the Pileups!

73!
