I’m downsizing my shack to move into a smaller retirement home. All items were purchased new by myself. They have never been operated mobile or portable and exist in a non- smoking environment. This is a complete “shack radio setup”. I have over $7900 invested. KAT500 tuner KPA500 amplifier

I would just keep the Astron-35 (I bought one in 1980 and still works). But I upgraded to a Astron-50M years ago and it supplies the entire shack (fused at 30A). I also use a 28v Astron for supplying 24v devices. But Astron makes 8A and 10A switching supplies (we started swapping them out
