Are you interested in an amplifier project?
I have the RF deck as it was being modded to take 4000 something or another tubes.
I have the original RF deck with a pair of 813's last tested putting out 1KW each. Not tested by me. I wouldn't know how.
The case has been painted over and sealed to accommodate a directed airflow. There are twin squirrel cages on the back that were added on as are the giant tube sockets.
The front panel is in cleaned up shape with a couple of scratches. The bandswitch and all the variable caps are present and the main one is huge! I don't know what is or is not missing.
This is the pre 11m ban for amateur radio as it has a 10/11 switch marked on it.

This was someone's project that they gave up on due to finances. I bought it for parts but I decided to offer it up for sale to finance something else. I believe they were going to build up to a 4KW output so that it would "loaf" along at 1.5KW.

Look at the pictures: http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c79/bebop5/Baker%20and%20Williamson/ (http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c79/bebop5/Baker%20and%20Williamson/)

Shipping will be insured and shipped via USPS. Right off the top of my head I would say that shipping will be about $60.00. If it is less I will issue a refund for the balance.

Make an offer. All reasonable offers will be considered. I use Pay-Pal but will accept postal money orders.

Yes, the bandswitch operates smoothly.

Yep. He was a good kitty, if a little eccentric.

Sorry to hijack your thread, Charles.

Guess it was my own fault. I shouldn't have stroked the loaf.

Oh man, I sure wish I could take this project off your hands, but I need another project like I need a hole in the head.

Yes sir. It was shot with a drill press. Part of a planned mod although it is not for us to understand.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here.
One guy wanted the tubes to the big sockets. Sorry. Don't have them.
One guy wanted to drive up from Georgia for local pick up. That's fine. It might save him $10 in gas depending on the variables.
One guy wanted to know if I would take personal checks. Sorry. I don't have time to deal with all that and he set off the scam-0-meter. Something I should have listened to a couple of months back.

Good Luck to you sir. My latest reviews describe my packing as "Insanely packaged." LOL!
