Materials only, it is worth ±$2000. It does not a blower, metering, rack
cabinet or power supply. The load cap is a glass vacuum and it is mounted
under the RF deck. Having 5KW of RF floating around under the deck will
most probably create lots of problems. There was a nice 3CX3000 amp for
sale on +QTH.com last week for a hell of a lot less money. Spending $5000
on the RF deck only would mean that you would probably have at $7500 in it
before you had it ready to rock and roll. BTW, the N connectors on the
output would need to be changed to something like HN connectors. Too much
power for N's.
