If you go back and read the QST review for the HF-2500, the reviewer stated
how nice it was to have an amplifier that is easy to service!
I invite him to try to change the meter light bulbs in an HF-2500. :-)

I'm actually considering fabricating an access panel on the bottom of
this thing under the rf deck in order the get to the power supply components
without having to disassemble the tank circuit components. When Palstar
bought Command Technologies they did this as well as redesign to make
everything serviceable and then promptly sold to someone else who has
never made them available. Too bad as this is an absolute beast of an
amp that in 10 years has given me no problems-----UNTIL NOW!! It's a great
RTTY contesting amp.
