Hi gang, I'm selling my big tube amps. Not getting off the air, but want to go 
solid state at home and probably mostly roving anyway..
 
Here's the rundown.. All Homebrew stripline ("RIW" style) amps - my own designs 
but straight forward enough.
 
144: 8877 in 1/2 wave stripline configuration. Tube at one end, vacuum variable 
at the other. antenna loading by capacitive probe (adjustable disc) at tube 
end. Input circuit is series L shunt C series L. Mounted behind 7" rack panel. 
has 1 amp plate meter and switchable "multimeter" that reads grid current or 
power fwd and reflected. Power is read by Jones Micromatch on back panel. Zener 
diode bias, filament transformer and blower are all on there. BNC in, N out. HV 
via HN connector. Tube's in good shape. This is the amp i've been using all 
along, it puts out well over 1.5KW.. $500 o.b.r.o
 
222: 8877 in 1/2 wave stripline. tuning and loading by flappers. 7" rack panel. 
Grid and plate meters, blower, filament. Zener bias. Good tube. amp puts out 
over a KW.. $500 o.b.r.o.

432: 8874 in 1/2 wave stripline. tuning and loading by flappers. 7" rack panel. 
Grid and plate meters, blower, filament. Zener bias. last time i used it put 
out 600 watts so i guess the tube is good, though it IS the original from back 
when an 8874 cost 50 bucks from Barry electronics. grid and plate meters and 
power meter switchable fwd and rev. (Jones Micromatch) $350 o.b.r.o.
 
all plus shipping.
 
I'll answer any questions and I can send pictures. Offering here first, then (I 
hope it doesn't get this far) eBay! I'm not saying these amps are in PERFECT 
condition, but the tubes are good, and were working great the last time I used 
them, which was probably 5-6 years ago...
