[Amps] Harris amps

[DAVE WHITE]

I've heard good reports of the Harris RF110 which is a pair of 4CX1000As (I think).  The tubes are very under-rated and although the amp is rated at 1kW out 2-30MHz I'm sure it could do more.  It will, however, be limited by the output transformer and the bandswitching which from what I've heard are not so over-rated.

There was one for sale recently on one of the UK ham radio sites, though the guy wanted about GBP2500 or something laughably optimistic and the amp had home-brew power supplies and control box.  Needless to say he couldn't sell it!

If you pick up one at a decent price then I'd say it could be a good piece of kit assuming no-one's monkeyed with it.  The manuals are all on the Boat Anchor Manual Archive on the web

cheers

I am interested in possibly obtaining one of the Harris amps in the RF-10x 
series.  I have heard of people having great results with the RF-102A in 
amateur service, at full amateur power, including coverage of 160M, but 
don't know if anyone is marketing these as surplus, or...  Nothing shows up

on E-bay.

Any leads welcome.
