It was my understanding that Rohn sued an/or bought out a lot of the competition over the past 30 years or so. Another source, particularly one that would mate with 25/45 would be nice. Maybe made in
I disagree if I may. The original Ameritron amps when owned by Prime Instruments had a great name, top QC and no compromise on parts. Take an AL1200 for instance made by both regimes and compare the
