The Phantom amps all used sweep tubes, as far as I've seen.
Nowadays the cost to re-tube is astronomical.
IMHO the correct price for a CB sweep tube linear is "FREE" and
the first thing you should do with it is de-tube it and retrofit
with real transmitting tubes.
You can probably get a 3CX800 to fit and work nicely with the
remains of a Phantom. Alternatively, a pair of surplus 4CX250s
would be a nice option too.

Subject: [AMPS] Phantom 1400 Linear
This is my first time submitting to this reflector so I hope any faux
pas
will be forgiven. A neighbor of mine has a linear amp for sale. As the
subject
indicates it is called a Phantom 1400. I believe it was sold under the guise
of
being for Hams but in reality was used for illegal CB operation. My
questions
are as follows:
I. Could someone on this reflector relay useful information about
this
amp or its specifications that would give me an idea of the
internal
components?
II. Would there be value to purchasing this amp as a method to
acquire
parts for an amp project I am planning or would I just be
increasing
the volume of my junk box ?
III. If the answer to # II is yes what might be a fair price to pay?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
