Hi Rick,
I would agree totally with Mike's comments to you. Many of these amplifiers
like this are not something a self respecting ham would want to run on his
station.
I don't know what your friend is charging you for the amp but you can pick
up some very nice equipment indeed on the used market for not a great deal
of money. For $300 or so you could have a little Heath SB-200 which runs
572B tubes and is a work horse of the first order. There are also other
older amps available for not a great deal more. I picked up an Ameritron
AL-80A which is a very good amp, 160 through 10, running a single 3-500Z
tube for just under $600 earlier this year for my back up amp.
Of course, you may do what you wish but I hope you will consider our advice
and purchase a true ham band amplifier.
Good luck with your quest and very 73.
Kevin :)

Subject: A question about an amp.
Hi list.
Has anybody heard of an amp called Interceptor 300?
If so could you tell me about it please.
A friend found it at a local auction and wants to sell it to me, but I don't
want to buy it if I cant use it.
I assume it's a 10 meter amp because on the back it says not for use on 11
meters.
I'm trying to figure out what it's worth so I can make him an offer for it.
That is if it works.
I don't know how long it sat unused.
The fan works good and all the tubes light.
I assume it's a 300 watt amp. If it's a 10 meter amp I hope I can turn the
power back to 200.
I would like to find an accessible manual for it if possible.
Thanks in advance, and I hope this Email makes sense.
