[SECC] Amps

[Keith LaBorde]

Anything with a 4cx800a is the way to go.
I purchased some new ones last month for $40.00 each in lots of 8 or more.

When you look at the cost of retubing a Ameritron, the Alpha is a better
value of
the long run.

> I will be in the market also. I am not up to speed on tubes. I looked at
the Ameritron's at Dayton. The AL-1200 AND AL-1500 use almost all the same
components. There is a small circuit board in the 1500 for warmup.. The
filament transformer and the tube of course are differenct. Seems the 1200
has a more rugged tube.. I have a 3 hole alpha 374. Whats the consensous as
far a manufacturers. Other than Alpha who's the best ?? QRO , Commander ,
etc are new since i've been inactive a few years.. I am concerned about
replacement tube prices.. I think thats the problem with 374's.. Is the
3cx800 a good way to go ??..
