I'm looking over all of the ameritron amps and having trouble understanding something... a quick breakdown reveals the following (from their web site) AL-80B: 1000 watts, tube cost $249. $1399 list A
The tube costs listed are per tube, the AL-572 uses 4 tubes and the AL-82 uses 2 as does the AL-800H. Then there are glass vs ceramic, instant on vs timer delay and also life vs cost. To a much large
Of those choices, I'd go with the AL-80B or AL-572. I've had both and both were decent amps, although I had some trouble with the 572. If you go that route, I'd wire the transformed to get about 2.5
The reason I have the AL-1500 is because it takes less than 60 watts of drive for 1500 watts on most bands, this save running the modern 100 watt exciters flat out. Your right no one pays 3500 for it
Not any more - the AL1200 and AL1500 are $2899 or more at all the major radio stores (Texas Towers, HRO, AES, etc). The best bang for the buck is probably the AL-80B. Bob W6VY Your right no one pays
Rusty, You've gotten some great answers already. I'll add this. This "headroom" issue is a lot more important than you might realize. If an amp is rated 1,000 watts and you run it at 1,000 watts all
Your right Bob, I just checked the prices have jumped up a lot, my Al-1500 was right around 2600 about 6 months ago, TT held their prices right around 2600 for a couple of years and now are 2900. Whe
That's because the price of tubes is going through the roof. 73 Tom _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo
Time to move production to some 4th world country and get an 8877 for $200. Anyone want to move to Iraq? I'll bet that the Chinese will be the first to move as soon as their economy makes it too expe

Yes, this what I want to know.I think it should cheaper than a CRT.In China, a new 29'' Clour CRT TV set only ask $130-150!The TV manufacturer has complain that they make a TV only make no morethan
Some of Chinese products is becaming more expensive because of the exchange rate. in early 1990s, In Chinese retail market ,a FU-100F (Chinese 4CX1000A)only ask $80.Now, we have to pay for $300! 73!
