Sorry Carl. I will rethink!
I have no clue about the going rate for these units in Europe while I
notice they may be sold at the 1-3K USD level on the left side of the
Atlantic ocean.
If some of you ampers know what the typical selling price in Europe is
please give me a hint. Freight cost alone to central Europe will be very
high so I anticipate the unit will sit safe in my shack and not be
cannibalized.
However I did not get any comment on the suitability of the T-368
components for those tubes..

The T-368 is one of the holy grails of AM transmitters and in rather
high demand by hams, especially in that condition.
There should be a ready market in Europe for it along with enough money
to buy the parts you want.

Subject: [Amps] 3CX5000A7 -YC156 -YC179 Tube amplifier question
I am well underway collecting parts for an HF amp using an Eimac YC179
tube.
Even though I am not expecting to power it with a HV-supply that are
able to bring out the full potential of the tube, I would like to be
sure I am using components adequately dimensioned for it.
I have a complete and very clean T-368 transmitter that have
capacitors, inductors and switches that seems excellent candidates for
being carefully relocated to the YC179 project. The T-368 components
physical size and values seems in my opinion like being suitable for
this project. I may be dead wrong.
You can find some details of the T-368 transmitter at this link:

What do you guys think ?
