Rare Prototype Drake HF Linear Amplifier Eimac 4CX1500B Pileup DX Buster.

Description: I have several heavyduty antenna tuners with components that can easily handle the brute power of this beast. [ Military Roller Inductor type , a couple of Drake MN-2000 models. If needed I can help by pairing up one if needed. Safety Switches that disable reslays built into lids of both the linear chassis snd the heavy power supply. Forced channeled airflow thru duct over the final for superb cooling. [ the fan is a bit too loud for my taste but can be changed to a writer one easily. Power supply has all new electrolytic capacitors. About 4800 Volts on Primary and about 2500 on secondary caps. I have a spare brand new Eimac 4CX1500B. But the installed original tube is still full output. These are almost indestructible. A true pileup buster that you can appreciate. Also has tunable adjustable input circuits inside the front panel. I use a small tuner between the exciter and the linear input to keep the input at a perfect 50 ohms between band changes to really keep it at full balance for maximum output when needed. I will be adding to the description as I go to not miss out on details. Its a beast and built to be bulletproof. Loaded with all the best old school parts. If you're looking for something different. If you're looking for auto computerized..change to the next item. This one is for the specialist who can appreciate american made products made out of real parts. Overbuilt is the word. Local pickup required. It's actually quite compact with a decently small footprint taken up on the table. The Linear cabinet isn't all that heavy. The overbuilt power supply is. [ about 150 lbs] Capable of loping at legal limit with only about 40 watts of exciter drive. Will add more detail daily until I get description finished with all the build details. There is a wooden crate built onto a small mini pallet that can go with it if needed. Will add details
