Hi I have a HF set and tuner in my workshop. It is fairly old ( at least 15 yrs) but has been stored for the last ten yrs.
Only problem is that it is 24 volt.
If you are intrested my mob. # is 0419881092, or of course nviner@bigpond.net.au
All the best with your hunt.
Regards Nick.

Not quite....

A marine SSB with 150 watts PEP output power will on voice peaks or data modes draw upwards of 50% more than the maximum rated current of that device (i.e., 15 amps @ 24 volts).
