The guy I bought the amp from said the power supply was upgraded so this must
be one of the things that was done. I can ask him and see if he knows.

I would think 20A would be fine unless the run is long, then I'd opt for 30A.
Be aware that pin arrangements for the plug and socket change for the various
ratings.
Even if the PS is working ok with the amp, I always replace the 5K 7wt resistor
on the underside of the supply with a 5K equivalent, 20 watt rating. When the
original resistor fails, it takes out the ALC pot that also contains the
standby switch; these haven't been available for decades.

I ran a 20A line for my Alpha 99. Works great.

Just bought a Drake L-4B amp and while I am waiting for the amp to arrive I had
the electrician over. He wants to know what everyone is running for their 240V
line. 15, 20 or 30 amp service.
Thanks!
