AL-82 For Sale


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I am located in Reno, Nevada.? I say this right off the bat as this amplifier I am offering for sale, is too big for me to ship, so¡­¡­

?

I have a 6 year old AL-82 legal limit amplifier to sell.? I am pretty sure it has a shorted 3-500z tube.? I know it has a suspect T/R relay.

Rather than spend the money for 2 new tubes, I opted on purchasing a new solid state legal limit amplifier (RF2K-S) from Island Amplifiers.

³§´Ç¡­.

The AL-82 is for sale.? I will include 3, new, T/R boards for the amplifier.? (AL-82¡¯s have known issues with the T/R relays, so to make sure I would not have any parts availability issues, I just bought 3.)? It is also wired for 240v operation.? I also have the factory manual¡­somewhere..if I can¡¯t find it, I will print out a good copy.

?

It is a great amp, capable of well over legal limit, if that is your bent.? I found 500 watts was all I ever needed for my communications and it just loafed along at that power.

?

In any case, I am asking $1200 for the amp and spare T/R relays.? Again, no shipping.? I am handicapped and I can no longer take it apart to ship.

?

Best check the band switch prior to a sale, they are pretty much unobtanium at a realistic price. As far as I know you need to order direct from manufacturer of switch, they have a 5k minimum order amount for new customers.

Never heard of a problem with the band switch....there are 9 people, in a group of u, that chat every morning on 75 and they/we all have 82's.

This a new 'issue' to me.

In any case, never had an issue with the band switch on this 82!
