I’m selling my Alpha 87a auto-tune amplifier. The infamous 87a amp provides continuous maximum-legal-power on all amateur HF bands with auto-tune capability. Want to use the full 1500 watts on SSB, CW, RTTY, FT8 at 100% duty cycle? - no problem.

The amp is already wired for 240 VAC operation with power cord and 240V plug installed. Serial # 8799071132.

This 87a is in excellent condition with no scratches or dings and comes from a non-smoking environment. The optional cooling fan (very quiet) and AlphaMax firmware have been installed. Original 87A user manual.

Uses a pair of Eimac 3CX800A7 tubes. This is a workhorse of an amp, fully capable of 1500 watts output with only 50 watts or less input. The amplifier was recently inspected and calibrated by Alpha technician, Brad Focken. He tested it on all bands and the power output results indicated 1500 watts output on all HF bands with 45 watts of input.

Price is $2,400 with local pickup in Port St Lucie Florida preferred -or- I will drive up to an hour to meet you halfway. So, for example, if you’re in Miami, Orlando, Melbourne, Titusville, Winter Garden, etc., halfway would be about an hour for both of us.

If you want the amp shipped to you, the amp will come in two boxes, one for the amp and one for the Peter Dahl transformer. I will give you your exact shipping cost if you provide your zip code. Please note: the amp is double boxed and weighs 45 pounds. The transformer weighs about 43 pounds.

Payment methods accepted: Cash or Bank Wire Transfer. I'll also accept a Bank Cashier’s Check, personal check or Zelle (must clear first). Sorry, no PayPal. - No returns No refunds - I've been a ham for 45 years and value my reputation.
