Command Technologies HF-2500 3CX800 Tube Ham Radio Amplifier (works beautifully)

Description

This amplifier looks pretty good for it's age. There are a few scuffs on the cabinet and one scratch on the grid meter, but it looks good aside from that. It's all original with no modifications. It is wired for 220VAC. With 40 watts in, we're getting a little over 1200 watts out. You can probably drive the amp a little harder, but we don't recommend it. These tubes are expensive to replace and there's very little difference between 1200 watts and 1500 watts on the air. Per the manual, we've removed the transformer and will ship this separately to ensure a safe delivery.
We're including this disclaimer in most of our ham radio listings, as we've noticed a disturbing trend over the past few years. Please, read the manual (most are available to download for free online) and do your research
before
making a purchase. Ensure the equipment will meet your needs. Ensure you know how to operate it. Ensure it will work with your existing equipment. We get too many returns requests stating "it doesn't work"... only to find the buyer had no idea how to use the equipment correctly and never read the manual. We're happy to answer a questions if you're stuck, but we ask that you do your due diligence. This is especially true if you are a new ham operator or haven't operated this type of equipment in the past.
