Lee, By in large, the Sb-220 amp is popular because they show up all over
the place. At any given time there are 3 or more on EBAY. You don't see that
many of a single model amp of any other brand that often for sale. There are
a lot of new hams coming into the ranks, namely the no code Generals and
Extra's. They want amps, when you make the comparison on price on a NEW amp
running a pair of 3-500's (most over $2500.00) an SB-220 running a pair of the
same tubes for $700.00 or so seems like a deal. These newbies are not so
concerned with quality as they are with price I assume. There may be other
reasons, but that is the way I see it. Lou
