I sent the following email to your email link listed below, but it came back undeliverable. So copy and pasting my response to you below on the group email:
Bill, I have a spread of Drake tube type radios at my ranch about 6 hours west from here. Only thing I dint have to finish the collection is a Linear. I "think" I may have a tuner out there, but would gladly buy a backup if so. Its my SHTF radio setup. I am 62 years old and remember the old tube testers at the Lil General convenience stores! I have a full electronics workstation at home to build Raspberry Pi controlled devices, etc. Latest invention on the table is a camera shutter speed timing calculator using 4 laser beams driven by a Rasp Pi 4B. Writing code in Linux Python for it. So, yes, I can handle the Linear Cap maintenance or replacements. When may you be available for me to take it off your hands, and may I provide a check for it? If not I can go to the bank and get cash, Sir. 73, Rodney MartinezNK5Q5462 Loch Lomond DriveHouston 77096832-423-5640 cellSent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Thu, Jul 22, 2021 at 18:02, Bill Green via BVARC<bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: I HAVE A DRAKE L-7 KW LINEAR / P.S. PLUS MATCHING MN-2700 KW ANTENNA TUNER THAT I NOLONGER NEED. THE PAIR IS IN NEAR COLLECTOR QUALITY ( NOT A SCRATCH ON CABINET ).THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE LINEAR WITH TWO 3-500 EIMAC FINALS. THE LINEAR HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS AND BEEN STORED IN THE SPARE BEDROOM. THE LAST TIME I USED THE LINEAR IT HAD FULL OUTPUT AND NO PROBLEMS. THE H.V. CAPACITORS IN THE POWER SUPPLY WILL NEED TO BE “FORMED UP” AFTER BEING OUT OFSERVICE FOR SO LONG AND YOU WILL NEED TO USE A 240 VOLT VARIAC TO DO THIS SLOWLY BRINGINGUP THE VOLTAGE FOR SEVERAL HOURS TO REFORM THE CAPS. I CAN’T GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILLWORK AND THE P.S. CAPS MAY FAIL SO I’M SELLING THE AMP/TUNER AT A VERY LOW PRICE. NEW CAPS IF NEEDED SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FROM VARIOUS SUPPLY HOUSES. THIS IS A CASH ONLY DEAL WITH PICK UP AT MY QTH – I CANNOT SHIP.I HAVE SEEN THESE GO FOR MORE THAN $1200 ON EBAY & QTH.COM PRICE FOR BOTH THE L-7 AND MATCHING MN-2700 IS $600 IF INTERESTED PLEASE CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT.
