  • I am selling this AL-1200 Amplifier that I picked up at an Estate Sale a couple of years ago. I need to re-coup some costs from my Icom Giveaway last month and I don't have room for this amp any longer. It was pulled from a working station when I got it. Offers welcome and free delivery is available to a certain area - take a look!

    $3000 is a little steep, $2000 would be plenty due to the condition. I gave $2100 for a 1500 a few years back, in perfect condition. P.S. if you do ship it, take the tube and the transformer out and ship them separately. The box will flex with that huge transformer.

      $3000 is what they go for on QRZ, that is where I got the price. I'd take a little less though

    Had an AL-811h years ago. Four 811 tubes, would do 1200pep on SSB all day despite the lower rating. They make great amps. GLWS!

    Awesome amplifier! A friend had me store one for him awhile, but I didn't have large enough dummy load to handle the power it would put out or the $3,000 he wanted for it so I was about afraid to run it at my station because my luck isn't so great anyway. I did tune it to legal limit on my dummy load one night, but unkeyed it and unhooked it after the oil in the dummy load began to bubble from reaching the boiling point! I thought the fan was very loud, especially compared to my AL-80B's fan which isn't much of a cooling fan anyway. The cooling fan in the AL-80B would still let the 3-500Z tube heat up pretty hot so I took an old 12 volt 4 inch x 4 inch computer fan on a 12 volt wall wart and hung it on the outside of the amp's cabinet pulling air out from right beside the tube and with the built-in cooling fan on the opposite side of the tube it runs much cooler now! I hung the outside fan with 2 plastic coated paper clips that clip through the holes on the top corners of the cooling fan and slid the other ends of the paper clips through the top left & right slots in the cooling vent that's right beside of the tube and it works great! I hope whoever bought your AL-1200 babies it because they sure don't want to pay what a replacement 3CX1200Z7/YU181 vacuum tube costs! MFJ/Ameritron has them priced at $3,499.95!

    Hi Jason,
    If you need to ship, may I suggest after you place it in a box, to take it to the shipper and have them box it with foam in bag. That will give it the most protection. You and your family stay safe. 73 WJ3U

    • @makaninalu1
      @makaninalu1 Рік тому +1

      I would NOT take it to the SHIPPER ....They do not know how to remove the tube and transformer in the amplifier and they will do a BAD packing.........Believe me please..

  • @1112223333111
    @1112223333111 Рік тому +1

    you need to pull the xfmr, tube and chimney and ship them all separate. otherwise the xfrmr will rip the chassis and destroy the amp. the tube and chimney will fly around and be destroyed too

    @makaninalu1 Рік тому

    $3000 is very steep for this amplifier and a rare tube that it uses will be hard to find and it must be mint,so around $2000 is fair with the some scratches and bent end of the cover.......AL-1500 tubes are easier to find and buy.........
