Hi Steve!
Yup, I'm interested! Since you're so close I could even drive down and pick it
up to eliminate the hassle of shipping. I could also lay cash into your hand!
I've found ads for Centaurs running from $450 to $600, with the higher dollars
going for those amps where the 811's have been replaced with 572B's and the
fans have been swapped out for something quieter. These mods seem common, at
least according to the reviews on eham.net
Came across an ad today with a unit going for $650 but that included matched
Taylor 572B's installed, spare matched 811's and shipping. I called on it but
the ad was 10 days old and others had beaten me to the punch.
A set of three matched Taylor 572B's go for $150 at RF Parts. I'm not sure
what shipping would be, but $30 seems reasonable. Somewhere around $475 seems
reasonable to me. Here's the ad I found...
FOR SALE: TEN-TEC CENTAUR AMPLIFIER. Tom, in Sparks Nevada has a mint Centaur
amplifier for sale. Three brand new Matched Taylor 572B tubes installed. Also
includes Three matched 811A tubes as a spare. Amplifier is in "AS NEW"
condition. $650.00 and that includes free shipping to any conus address. Tom
does not have internet access, so you can call him at 775-673-0223. Toms call
sign is W6XF in Sparks Nevada. Thanks for reading..... 73 K7ZY/Dale
Is she in good shape? Is the original fan still aboard. Do you have a manual?
Can you tell that I'm interested?

Hi Mike
I have a Centaur that I bought from W9OP a few years ago that
I have hardly used. I just picked up a used Titan and I gess I should
sell the Centaur.
I think I paid Mark 475 for it. I'm not sure what the going rate is
for these, but I can check around. Mebbe you already have.
I live just east of McFarland WI which is on the SE corner of Madison.
If you are interested in this amp let me know.
