Ameritron AL-80B HF Linear Amplifier 1 KW Out all bands 10 Meters Works Great NR

Description

--This is a very nice, fully functioning example of this wonderful single 3-500ZG amplifier.  All original and virtually blemish free.  Has 10 meter mod.
--I have owned this for several years, however it has had very little use.
--This mature amplifier design originated with Heathkit many years ago and is the ultimate in 3-500Z efficiency.
--I have endeavored to show it fully in all 12 photos. No. 1 shows full KW out on 75 meters. Ip and Ig are well within limits at about 82 watts of drive.  No. 2 is a close up of same setup showing amp loafing at mas power. No. 3 is 20 meters and No's 4 and 5 are 10 meters, still showing max output, but with higher current.
--Wired for 220
--I will ship this, carefully double boxed with all new materials by UPS ground.  Just pay the eBay shipping calculator amount to your address.  No packing or handling charges, despite significant material and labor costs preparing this for proper shipment.  Also, and it addition, I will ship the removed tube separately in its original box (an absolute necessity!) at no additional charge.
--You will have to possess rudimentary mechanical and electrical skills to assemble this and render it in proper working order.  Please don't bid if this presents an obstacle for you.
--Also included is nicely spiral bound and protected full manual and factory 120
VAC fuses visible in photos.
--Please plan on shipping---this weighs almost 57 pounds fully and properly packed in two new 18 and 20 cube boxes!
--I am offering carrier specific shipping discounts to reflect actual shipping costs I pay and no more.  This should work out to your advantage and further reduce the impact of shipping charges.
--ABSOLUTELY NO FOREIGN SHIPPING!! CONUS ADDRESSES ONLY! ALSO, THIS MUST SELL TO A LICENSED AMATEUR ONLY.  PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR CALL SIGN
--LOW $.99 STARTING BID AND NO RESERVE ON THIS!!!!!!!!
