Last year I decided to expand my station to multi-2. In 1995 I ordered an
87A at the Dallas Hamcom and had to wait 6 months for delivery. It seemed
like a good idea to get a second unit for the new configuration so I called
Alpha in July and learned that the 87A was being phased out of production in
favor of a new amp that was being developed. They decided to build just 20
more special Omega amps to commemorate the end of the model. I could not
resist the temptation. :-).

To each his own. I happen to like the way mine looks and works, and I like
the fact that I have one of the 20 that were produced.

Looks good to me too.
Any reason why only 20 were produced?
