If it was a "2K Classic X," it should have a 10m bandswitch position. The
"X" meant "export," and the export amps always had 10m, even when the
domestic models didn't.
You sure it was an "X?"
Adding 10m to most of the 2K series that didn't have it took a bit of work,
not just clipping a wire. The last one I did, it involved moving the stop
tab on the bandswitch itself; replacing the 15m plate tank coil with a
different one for 10m/15m; adding the entire 10m tuned input network, which
wasn't there originally; and wiring that stuff in. Probably took a good
hour or so. Of course, that was one of the 2K models, not necessarily the
same one you're looking at.

Subject: [Amps] Henry 2K Classic X question
I looked at this model earlier today, but hesitated on the deal for 2
reasons. First,
item was advertised as having graphite tubes, and turned out to have
standard
3-500Z's.
Second reason was it was advertised as 10-80 meters, but no bandswitch
position for 10
meters. Was there a mod. for this,and if so was it fairly easy, or a tear
the amp. apart
kind of thing? Also, I didn't see the usual input tuning array in the back
of
this unit.
Did they have tuned inputs somewhere inside the lower half of the deck?
Thanks for any input.
Kevin
