Having had more than one TS-430 at one time or another, all I can say is that those output figures are pure 'poo-poo' unless that particular '430 was very heavily modified. With standard finals, no modifications to the PA or audio sections, just can't happen. I would suggest some thought about claims before making very silly ones. Very easy to check! What's the primary current draw, and at what voltage?
Nothing particularly wrong with a TS-430, they are very nice 35 - 40 year old radios. But sorry, they just don't do miracles.
