I sold mine recently for $450.

It will deliver around 800w CW, 1000w PEP SSB on all bands from 160-10 meters,
if you replace the plate RF choke with an Ameritron AL80B unit to eliminate a
resonance near 17 meters.  Perhaps you can just modify the stock choke.

Make sure there are no burned bandswitch contacts.  Look CAREFULLY at the 80 and
160 meter contacts that switch the padder capacitors before buying!
