Ad Number:	1732902
Date Placed:	06/14/25
Name:	Scott Dickson
Phone Number:	318-355-2220
Callsign:	W5WZ
Category:	AMPHF
Heading:	FOR SALE - Ameritron AL-1200
Ad Message:	FOR SALE - Ameritron AL-1200 S/N 12607 Clean & reliable. Instant on for bagging that rare one! Genuine Peter Dahl transformer. The power supply has been modified by adding 2 additional capacitors (a total of 10), see the web link in this ad for that write up in my blog. The Ameritron AL-1200 has a 3,600v power supply. Its filter capacitor bank of eight, 270mF 450vDC runs right at the limit of its design (8 x 450 = 3600). A common modification is to add two additional capacitors, along with the needed bleeder resistors, to increase the filter bank capacity to 4,500v. Keep in mind that the transformer still puts out 3,600v, so this modification essentially allows the components in the filter bank to have some overhead capacity. $2,000 plus shipping / delivery as required and negotiated with me.

Your Response to this Ad:

Due to the amount of non-ham scammers trying to respond to the ads, I am now asking a simple question that ham operators should easily be able to answer, but scammers may not know the answer: What is the number that hams use to represent the phrase "Best Regards"? This number is typically transmitted by hams at the end of a QSO.
Best Regards:
