I can not see clearly see inside the back, I can make out the transformers , big caps and a stack of bridges to make DC
but I bet it has no voltage regulation.
2x8 is just a bad idea all around.
I bet you are right Nomad.

Not a thing wrong with a pair of 455's driven at 1.6-1.8 watts. 2 watts is too much. Proper bias on the 2x as well as the 8x and you have a solid SSB signal. Chances of that happening here?
I would have gang morphed a hand full of mrf300 @ 50v on to a heatsink and let fly.

Not much, if they build the power supply unregulated for it I seriously doubt they biased the amp for SSB.
Most of the Fatboi amps I have seen were constructed with only enough parts to make it produce rf.

It started at $5500.00
Then $5000.00
Now $4500.00 and he will deliver within 100 miles ......
It's kind of like when you spend $80 grand and 10 years building a custom Trike with a small block stroker motor in it, and the best offer you can get is 15 grand.

I bet it sounds like dog poo on AM, too. OverBuzzdulated!
Should just run the radio into the 8 without the 2 driver transistors.
For that kind of money you could get a really nice HF rig and a 1000+ watt tube amp to go with it.
There's a lot of Real Estate to be had in there...
You could throw a WhatABurger in there
and have something useful come out of all the otherwise wasted heating....
Update
Price change to $4000.00 or best offer.
I see one offer at $800.00
