One of my close friends acquired this amplifier recently, and does not run a mobile station. I have given it a complete bench test. It runs balanced and has an original set of Toshiba 2SC2879 transistors. Not red dots or cheap Chinese counterfeits. Because it is very clean and the cost of original Toshibas are ridiculous today, the price is firm at $1,000. That's $600 less, than the price of the transistors alone, as advertised by the last sales at RF Parts. If anyone is interested, you can message me and I will put you in touch with the seller. Pictures are available upon request.
