[Amps] SB-220: 1,800 Watts Output ?

[W5CPT]

The SB-200 uses 2 572B's - not a 3-500.  Got one sitting 2 feet from the computer on which I am typing.
34 years old and still works well.

  Take it from me, ALL SB-220s had two 3-500s in them and only those.  The SB-221 also had same, but had 10m.

   

  The SB-200 had ONE 3-500.

   

  Beware of eBay..... people find an ad, copy most of its meaning, not the exact words, and offer it.  If people are fool enuf to send in money, the product and the lister disappear.  First test is a phone call and the seller is not a ham, etc.  73
