Re: Here come the ham bashers....
SB-200 go for about 150 to 200 dollars in good working order. They use a pair of 572B triodes for power. The SB-220 goes for about 300 to 400 dollars in working order it does the legal limit of 1500 watts using a pair CX500 triodes. They are so easy to repair if you can get a good deal on one of these amps which is not working I would would consider it. The only part if failed is a killer is the power transformer if it is gone the unit becomes a parts rig. You can find them on the swap lists and at ham feasts. These two amp in their day where the most popular HF amp on the market and thousands and thousands where sold. I am told the best place to find them is at any Texas Ham feast, Texas is a big place and they need big power on their HF setups   I have my SB-200 hooked up to one of my TS-530S it is a great combination. This outfit has the parts to update the Green Pigs.

I ran a G5RV dipole for years. I recently replaced mine with a conventional dipole with parts from The Wireman. »thewireman.com/index.shtml
I am fortunate to live in a area that will never see BPL. We have Hamradio operators in important positions in the local power company so any such proposal will be laughed out of the building.
