Beautiful classic Hammarlund HXL-1 linear amplifier in excellent working condition. This amplifier is from a local estate. You will see a small brass plaque on the front towards the bottom that says Leonard E. Len was a lifelong ham who owned and operated Walker Radio (now Walker Electronic Supply) in Albuquerque for many years. 20, 15, & 10 meters this grounded-grid amplifier uses two 572B tubes. This amplifier sat on a shelf collecting dust for many years — one of the pictures shows how dusty it was when I removed it from its cabinet. The amplifier contains an internal T-R relay and biases the 572B tubes completely off in standby so that there is no “shot” noise coming from conducting finals. First made in 1964, this is a very stable, very easy to use, very efficient amplifier. This amplifier makes full power with ease. It was removed from service many years ago when Len died. I brought it up very slowly over a week from zero to full 240 volts in order to preserve the good working condition of the electrolytic capacitors. I’m happy to say there were no surprises. A true boat-anchor, this amplifier weighs 66 pounds before packing material and a carton. The amplifier is currently wired for 240 volts. I’ll provide one if I have one in my collection. Otherwise it will come with the new power cord I attached to it (the old rubber one had rotted) and tinned conductors ready to accept your connector or to be hard wired into a safety switch or fuse block. This amp is a twin to one I’ve used for years — I really don’t need two of them!! A photocopy of the instruction manual will accompany this amplifier. This is a relist!
