For Sale: E. F. Johnson Thunderbolt HF amplifier covering 80-10 meters. Capable of 2KW input using a pair of 4-400A tubes.
This Tbolt looks pretty good but it has some small paint scrapes at the front panel edges on all 4 sides, more on the top front edge than on the other edges. The cabinet paint is pretty good. But you know how the EFJ cabinet paint always was. They never seemed to get good adhesion on their paint jobs. So there are some chips here and there. Finally, the original owner had used color-coded stickers to mark where he wanted to tune the amp for each band, so that he would not have to work out the tuning each time--he could just hit his color-coded marks. So you will want to remove his tiny self-adhesive labels and their glue residue. I've never had the amp running so I can't speak to it operationally. It does look good inside and the owner was using it, so I am assuming that it does what it's supposed to. It requires 220V of course. I have 2 used, good 4-400A tubes that I will include with the rig. I also have the origional manual. $475 plus shipping or pick up in Pittsburgh, PA. It weighs 120 pounds and will approach 140-145 packed. Let me know if you're interested. I can get some pictures for you. Thanks for looking. 73, Don Merz, N3RHT ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected]
