[Amps] amp supply lk500 za

[Carl]

The nice thing about them is that they come with the PAC-5 and vacuum relay.
Performance isnt so efficient on 10M so its often easier to pull a tube and 
realign the input as for a LK-500. The difference in power wont be heard on 
any band unless you had 150-200W to drive the 3 tubes.

Prices usually start around $1500 for a nice one.

The NT version is a bit of a PITA and Ive converted many to Tune versions. 
Many of those can be found cheap with fried caps and tubes.
