I have moved many Alpha amps without removing the transformer. I believe you only have to remove it for shipping. They also have screws to secure the fan that should be installed. I just sold an OM Power 2000+ and shipped it with the transformer. That was a heavy box to carry to FedEx! I have no issue with Elecraft shipping the lightweight power supply and amp together however for those that cannot lift it perhaps the Elecraft shipping depart can accommodate them with two shipments for an extra charge.

It is connectorized so you can remove the transformer in a few minutes and then transport it and the chassis separately. Otherwise, you risk bending the chassis under the weight of the transformer, assuming you can move it at all! KPA1500 is a true breakthrough in weight for a full-power amp! /Rick N6XI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
