that reminds me.
Does anyone have a manual on the 5000D Henry Plasma generator that they can
email to me?

Most likely someone gave him an offer he could not refuse.
It is against EBAY policy but some folks do remove items if they can make a
private sale
and get out of paying EBAY.
Ebay quit doing anything about illegal amplifier sales many years ago. Just
could not
handle the complaints and often the items are listed as 10meter amateur
amplifiers.
It looked like it had an antenna tuner mounted under the chassis for impedance
matching.
3 knobs. Just like the smaller MFJ knob pattern.
It could be a modified Henry 2k or 5kW plasma generator. That would explain
some of
the nicely commercially built hardware. The only difference between the two is
that
the 2kW has one plate transformer and the 5k has two wired up in parallel. It
is maybe
the only one of that power level that uses single phase power.

Some busybody meathead likely complained about it being an illegal ham or CB
amp.
