Ad Number:	1740299
Date Placed:	08/19/25
Name:	SCOTT P MCDONALD
Phone Number:	email only
Callsign:	KA9P
Category:	AMPHF
Heading:	Collins 30L1 For Sale
Ad Message:	For sale is my Collins 30L1 amplifier. This amp was stored for 5 years, brought up on a Variac for 24 hours and tested. The amp is set up for 115 volts. Power output whistled up to 500 watts on 80-15, and 350 on 10, with 70 watts drive. Not collector quality. There are a few missing screws, the cabinet has been repainted, there is a tiny screw in the bottom left corner that secures the panel corner, and if you look closely, you will notice that the meter and band knobs are Drake knobs. The meter switch is sticky, should be lubricated but works . Included are 2 not installed mod kits: a pair of MOVs and a switching kit for using the amp with newer rigs that can't switch the switching voltages used in the 30L1. If you are unfamiliar with this amp, you should review the CCA operating, mod and safety info available. Local pickup only, western Chicago burbs, $325 firm AS IS NO RETURNS. Please contact me direct at ka9p at aol.com only. Thanks, Scott

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:
