[Amps] WTB: 800 watt-1KW amp

[Jeff Blaine AC0C]

Be careful with the 811 - that tube needs a lot of light duty TLC.  If RTTY 
or PSK is part of the plan, that is the wrong amp.  And with CW, you still 
need to treat those tubes gently.

SB200 with 872b is a far better pick.  But then again, the sb220 is even 
more the better pick.

Have fun!!!  The great part about old amps is they are the most deceiving 
hole to which money can be thrown in to be invented since the boat!
