 For sale 3CX-3000A7 HF 10m-160m amplifier 75% completed 
 complete design and set of parts except tube. 
 
 * First-class big HF amplifier with power supply and sub-RF deck in 
 professional cabinets completed. RF deck needs cabinet and needs to be 
 built to complete project. 
 
 * Peter Dahl hipersil transformers 5KV plate XFMR, 7.5v at 55A 
 filament XMFR with constant voltage filament supply circuit (Sola 
 constant voltage XFMR, etc.. right out of tube Mfr's design manual). 
 
 * Two General Electric oil-filled 25 uF at 7.5KV filter capacitors 
 with custom transparent rigid poly cover to 
 * Protect HV terminals from accidental contact 
 
 * Simpson wide-vu meters (4 each) including backlighting and mounting 
 kits custom labeled for plate voltage, plate current, grid current, and 
 filament voltage (a colored band indicates normal operation range). 
 
 * K2AW silicon alley heavy duty HV rectifier modules mounted on heat 
 sinks for cool operation, 
 
 * Custom-made bias printed circuit board and tuned input board 
 professionally manufacture and assembled using Potter & Brumfield relays, 
 silver-mica transmitting capacitors, and toroids to form pi-networks for 
 each band. 
 
 * Pi-output network components include Jennings vacuum variables: 
 load C is 25-2500pF and tune C is 15-500pF with mount for chassis 
 mounting. Roller inductor is Gates 26-VC-2144 with wiper nice and tight 
 for good contact with bar stock of coil. Includes insulated 
 coupler/drives. 3 turns counters for above components plus Switchcraft 
 10-position mutually exclusive switch for band selection or tuned input 
 circuit bypass.. 
 
 * Power supply build with soft-start (step-start) contactors and 
 initial HV bring-up through resistors to protect rectifier. Also uses 
 time-delay relays for timing circuit (blower stays on after filament 
 released). 
 
 * RF parts socket/chimney assembly complete ( Eimac SK-14 ) will 
 include this or can exclude for $280 lower price than below (please 
 specify preference). 
 
 * Includes B & W BBC-5K plate choke and pi-networks with hockey puck 
 capacitors, also eight (8) 500pF at 30kV red RF capacitors plus numerous 
 smaller ones for filtering, mounting components, etc. 
 
 * Jennings vacuum relays for input/output and Teflon dielectric 
 coaxial cable 
 
 * Large blower for tube cooling approx. 18 inches diameter 
 
 * Filament regulation circuit is in sub RF deck so to extend filament 
 voltage to RF deck, this includes pair of 2 AWG welding cables with 
 Hubbell quick-disconnect in middle to RF deck to sub RF deck detachment. 
 
 * Power supply is complete, sub RF deck is complete.. just needs RF 
 deck 
 
 I have $4,500 invested in the above new/mint parts/components package; 
 will sell for best offer over $2,500 less than $0.50 per watt ! 
 
 Not shippable-will consider meet point arrangement 
 
 
 Serious inquiries, only please Dave (608) 283-3595 please leave 
 message if I am on phone/away from desk.
