AM radios with cb 11 meter reception?

I'm sure if you call him and tell him you want to purchase a new amplifier he will pick up the phone or return the call in a timely manner and then once you get him on the phone then you can tell him the real reason that you called.

now that's an idea too. just sad that someone could run a business like that though

There's always two sides to every coin. You generally don't get a warranty on an amplifier which is easy to destroy by making a simple mistake. Some folks think they should be able to blow up their amplifier and get it replaced or have it repaired under warranty even when it was their fault for the destruction.

The good side of this is if that's how he runs his business it won't last too much longer.

this is true too, I guess it is what it is just as long as it gets fixed.

They ran class C RF and class B modulator service for overall efficiency. Distortion was typically 0.5% until the modulator tubes started to go soft then it approached a little over 1%.

OVER 1%! My poor ears can't staaaaand it! Make it stop!

Not bad for a tube transmitter that was over 30 years old at the time and full of audio transformers. We had a couple older ones that were used as backups but they did run a little higher distortion typically 1-1.5% as a norm. Gates and Harris built some good stuff in the day. Many of those old BC-1 series transmitters are on the ham bands now doing AM service.
