[Amps] Roger's complete correction on tubes

[dennis12amplify at aol.com]

?Thank you Glen. Others have already referred me to the BAMA site and the more I?learn about the HAM version of the Hunter Bandit, the more I believe that the?version I am referring to was made by a completely different manufacturer.

Thank you again for the information you provided,

Dennis O.

Hunter made 3 different linears called "Bandit".  The Hunter Bandit 2000A came 
out in 1962; the Hunter Bandit 2000B came out in 1965; and the Hunter Bandit 
2000C came out in 1968.  Hunter also made the Hunter L 1000A that came out in 
1963.

The 2000A was available in color schemes to match either Drake or Collins at no 
additional cost.

The manuals for all 3 of the Hunter Bandit linears are available on BAMA at

http://bama.sbc.edu/hunter.htm

or the mirror site at

The location of the Hunter plant is indicated as Iowa City, Iowa.

The Bandit I, II and III were built by D&A in Scottsbulff Nebraska. Hunter built 
much higher quality amplifiers using? higher power sweep tubes at higher plate 
voltages and something new at the time, (for CB amplifiers), called 'BIAS"!??? 
?I have no record of a Hunter branded amplifer called the Bandit, but it would 
be foolish for me to say that it didn't exist. if you have any information that 
you would be willing to share, I would appreciate all information I could get on 
it , (especially a scanned copy of the owners manual and schematic), as I have 
been?considering writing a book on the subject of those old seep tube 
amplifiers..
