** There was export to local countries using 120/240 60Hz and export 
elsewhere using 200, 220 or whatever was in use at 50Hz.

The former used the same transformer as the US and 10M the only difference.

Then there were the "commercial" and "export" versions of a couple of LK-800 
variants; one being 3CPX800A7's and a 3200V PS key down with special filter 
caps and diodes.

Some of the ones Ive worked on would bury a 5KW Bird slug with 150W drive... 
A few are now on 6M EME (-;

** Dont expect to see much documentation on most any Amp Supply amp.
My late 1986 LK-500ZC has 8 switch positions labeled, 160-10M, AUX 1, AUX 2. 
I "ordered" it that way as partial payment for consulting work. It also came 
with the external PAC-5 transformer/cabinet and all the other options.
It takes about 10 minutes to enable extra positions, remove the detent stop 
screw.

** And your point is (-;   Remember there was no real Internet when that amp 
was built.....and the paperwork got lost excuse always worked with enough $$ 
involved.

These days the FCC is incompetent and corrupt, in the past it was just 
corrupt.
