I have a SWAN 1200W which is the same amp as the 1200X except the 1200W uses
6LQ6 tubes instead.

These are light duty amps and are intended for SSB/CW service only.

Price will depend on if tubes are any good. If tubes are good, then it is
worth around $250-300.
If not, the 8950 tubes are so expensive that one would consider changing
tubes to something easier to get.
