Alpha 76PA Amplifier (Modified)

Post by AA1J »

I have an Alpha 76PA, originally a three hole 8874 model, modified by Dick Byrd to a two hole, with two, one year old Eimac 3CPX800A7 tubes. The power transformer was also upgraded to a new Peter Dahl 76A-2 Special Hypersil. Has the low drive mod but not QSK. I have the original factory boxes, the manual and a flawless front panel and case, non sticky paint and original, late serial number. Definitely 9+ in appearance and 10 operationally. Legal limit at about 40w in, with slight variation by band. What's it worth?

Hard to Tell

Post by k0wa »

It really is hard to tell what the unit is worth. I've been looking for something like that for several weeks now and they are either beat up or have been modified heavily. I think your mods are a plus and not a negative. The tubes are for sure a positive. I've seen those go for $1100 to $1400 dollars and even higher on Ebay. Sounds like a very nice amp that is ready for the next century of service. I am envious because good amps are hard to come by. I could be wrong about the price because of a lack a data points on pricing.
