Knowledge of Heathkit Amplifiers Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Being retired and not knowing lots about amplifiers. I picked up a SB-200 and a good price. The first person to offer his help was Lou. Let me state that his knowledge and help have been overwhelming. He is very knowledgeable, and even when I feel I've bugged him too much he still is kind enough to help me out. Just wanted to say, Lou knows what he is doing. I'm certain any amp he repairs or converts will be 100%.

Great amp, good guy! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
When it comes to converting Heathkit SB-220s to 6m Lou, W1QJ is the *World Formest Authority*. I gave my SB-220 to Lou at the Dayton Hamvention a couple years ago and friend who was traveling to CT brought it back to me a few weeks later after Lou worked his magic. The amp is stable, reliable, and Lou's workmanship is impeccable. I can easily achieve legal limit with under 100 watts drive.

Great 6 Meter Amp!!! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I bought a King Conversions SB-220 from another ham here in Florida. It came without tubes, and after retubing it with a matched pair of new RF Parts 3-500zg tubes I can't be happier with it. I emailed back and forth with Lou, W1QJ, and he quickly answered all the questions that I had for him. I would highly recommend the QRO King for any 6 meter conversion amps.

Lou is the man on all amp repair and conversions Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Lou repaired my Amp supply LK-550 with ease. It was great dealing with him and will send any amp i need repaired to him since he is local. We talked for hours and he is full of knowledge!

Lou is reliable, reasonable, and knows his tube amps Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have had Lou work on several Ameritron amplifiers for me, as well my pride and joy Ten Tec Titan 425. He has a tremendous body of knowledge of tube amps, is a great troubleshooter, and very reasonable in his charges. I highly recommend him.

AL1500 6 METER AMP Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Lou Built this Incredible AL1500 for me for use on 6 Meters. I don't have WORDS For ENOUGH PRAISE for his Work and CRAFTSMANSHIP!
Using it on FT8; With as little as 8 watts of Input - It Delivers right at 600 Watts Out-Put!
Allow me to also mention (AS far as Headroom) that I have to be VERY CAREFUL not to Burn Up Antennas!!! You can easily produce almost 3KW Out-Put with this FINE AMP!!! EVERYTHING about my Experience with Lou has been a Pleasure from start to Finish. I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am with my purchase and Lou's Services - AWESOME!! Still GOING after a Year and THIS is the Finest Amp I have ever owned Thank YOU Lou your work is INCREDIBLE!!!

Extremely happy with my SB-220 6 meter conversion Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought a used SB-220 from a local ham that was in decent shape, I already had a HF desktop amp, so being the 50 MHz fanatic, I brought the Heathkit to Lou, he transformed this tired HF amplifier into a 6 meter monster! It preforms excellent and gives me true QRO on 6 meters and it looks a beautiful in black! Lou is great to guy, excellent communication, he is very knowledgeable and even spent the time to demonstrate how to tune and load the amplifier correctly. I now have that extra edge I always wanted on 50 MHz.
Thanks Lou!

AL-80B Conversion Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The AL-80B works great producing 1000 watt PEP out. This amp makes sense for 6 meter conversion due to low capacitance of just one 3-500Z tube vs two 3-500Z tubes in other amps that only produces 200 more watts output. One 3-500Z tube is more efficient on 6 meters.

Outstanding Conversion Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Could not be happier with my SB221 King Conversion. It was so simple, took amp to a shipping store, they double boxed it and off it went. Turn around was so quick. Amp looks brand new and is a total 6M Beast. Lou made the amp look brand new and 6M has never been so fun.
