[Amps] Fw: How about this furnace?

[Sam W4OAE]

A closer look yields....................................

The band switch is set to 80 meters.  Look for the white mark on the bandswitch knob.  It's pointing to 80m.  The exciter/driver is clearly shown.  Notice the Ameritron amp setting on the op bench.  

In response to "The main question is WHY?"   The answer is because you can.   

A more realistic take would be to address the real world use for an amp like this in a ham shack.  Just look to the disaster in the gulf area this past summer.  If I were the owner, I would be one of the first in line to offer my help by offering my station as a disaster communications site.  While being careful to make sure it was used properly by a US/State government agency,  or coordinated and closely supervised by one.
