Lady has one that belonged to her husband who passed about 7 years ago, she doesn't know if it works what would be a fair offer for this amp?

Re: Varmit XL250
I was going to say go online and search for similar and use your judgement on a price. As I see you got it so now be careful with it, don't overload it with wattage which your 2517 can do, replacement tubes are expensive.

Re: Varmit XL250
Driving it with 5 watts am, talked to San Diego CA (Brass Monkey) this am. Will my SSB overdrive it?

Re: Varmit XL250
It would live longer if you drive it with the minimum amount of wattage, less than 5w AM would be better, try to keep the SSB below 20/25w, the good thing is tubes are a little more forgiving than transistors, JMO.

Re: Varmit XL250
How do I limit the rf power on SSB with my radio, book says RF Power knob only controls power on AM & FM
