[Amps] B&W PT-2500A on 10m?

[Carl]

A brain reset will reveal it was designed by Viewstar plus Fred Hammond, 
financed by Hammond, was a sales dud due to few wanted to deal with 
crossborder hassles, arced badly in the tank circuit, sold to B&W for the US 
market and modified to stabilize.

Overpriced and still didnt sell well, a bit under 250 in the US.

I was a B&W US distributor and also was brought in to help with the 
redesign. Also used a pair of unsold rebuilt Viewstars to win 2 ARRL DX 
contests with KQ2M as the op as the shakedown test. Never a hiccup.
