[TenTec] The Titan IIII - 4cx800s

[ac9s at mchsi.com]

Molly at Alpha indicates that 4cx800s are becoming available again and that Alpha will offer matched pairs in the January timeframe.  She didn't indicate a price.  If they are available to Alpha I am sure they will be to Ten Tec.  I am not sure I would write off the 4cx800 based amps yet.  Now, I don't think these are current production items, but NOS Russian sourced.  Even so, those 4cx800s have been a great value to the ham community for the last 10 years or so.  They have proven super reliable for me.  Maybe a good strategy would be to pick up a spare matched set - would probably last most of us for the rest of our lives.  I do believe you would need to swap them with your current finals to keep them from getting gassy.
