Good is a relative term.
The LK-800 requires some TLC for long term reliability.
The PS is excellent .
The RF deck is marginal in a few areas and could use some mods. It does
however use a vacuum relay for the output.
Power out is ~ 2500W with 80- 100W of drive.
Replacement parts are readily available.
Current prices are ~ $2500-3000; look for the latest A model or the
later C model.
