RKR Designs sold Alpha, along with TenTec, in 2016 to Mike Dishop N8WFF
who also owns Dishtronix.

Manufacturing was moved to the Dishtronix facility in Bellefontaine
Ohio. The Alpha 87A is currently listed as 'discontinued' on the Alpha
website.

Current service and support for it is unknown... but, I suspect that it
was probably discontinued for a reason. The statement on their website
says:
/"We have many parts to repair legacy amps, but hope you understand that
many of the parts used for example in the 87A are no longer obtainable
because some suppliers are out of business and microprocessors
manufactured 30 years ago are completely obsolete."/
