[Amps] What Old Amp to Buy?

[Jerry Muller]

You'd better make the following mods.

1) Install a filament choke. With no filament choke, the RF will sputter 
between cathode and filament and eventually short the two together.
2) Put a REAL blower on the tube. There's not enough cooling on the 8877 in 
the stock unit.

Pete,

If you can find a Dentron DTR-2000L in good condition .. or even a
Clipperton-L .. they make good 160m amps .. as long as you don't run
RTTY there.

Some guys on here will put those amps down, but, for the usual 'used'
price, they are a bargain.

Oh ... of you find a DTR-2000L that has NOT been retrofit to some
other tube, and you decide NOT to buy it, CALL ME, as I am interested!
