I have an opportunity to pick up an Arcos 2M Amp built by W2GN in the 
80's.  It uses a pair of 3CX800's for 1.5 KW output.  It also has  a 
dual channel Bird wattmeter for simultaneous measurement of forward and 
reflected power.  I have been told that these amps were of the highest 
quality and that the builder was a grade A craftsman who also built 
similar amps for commercial applications.  Frankly, I have not seen this 
amp in the flesh and I'm also relatively inexperienced with high power 
VHF/UHF amps.  I would appreciate any input or insights that any of you 
might have on this prospective purchase.

Thanks.
