After some searching I found the L7s. Yes, the photo is of the one,
unless they both have the same S#.<:-)) With the number of items sold
and reasonably good rating I'd guess they are a legit auction house with
absolutely no clue about ham equipment. They prematurely listed the
amps without power supplies, then listed the wrong power supplies for
the amps.
The amps look clean, use common and relatively inexpensive tubes,
circuit design is standard so for today's equipment they are about as
good as any amp.
On most amps the 10 meter activation is trivial, but the only link I
found was to e-mail some one for permission to get photos and
descriptions at the "virtual museum". Other groups are far more open.
