Picked up a neat little amp. its a JB 200A. I was wondering if they had a SSB delay? Mine seems to work good on SSB with no chatter or cut out. |

I know a guy who said he found a JB 2000 watt modulator. Is there such a thing? |

They made a JB 2000 amp. I knew a guy that ran a JB 2000 and he said it worked great! They used 3-500Z's inside the amp. Back in the day Black cat was a pretty good amp company. But this was a tad before my time!! That little JB 200A works pretty slick. IMHO i think it might be a modulator more than an actual linear just by the way it keys up and swings to beat heck. I did find some tubes for it though on a website that sells guitar amp tubes. $99.95 a matched set or 8417's so if the ones in mine ever go out i know were to find a set although they are kinda pricey. |

Yup. They are 8417s but i dont know what brand they are as they are not marked at all besides the 8417 numbers... Look alot like Guitar amp tubes... In fact i looked on a websit that sells guitar amp tubes and they still carry GE 8417s in matched sets... |

Well the tubes are in great cond in the amp itself. That little JB 200 is a real scrapper of a little amp!;-) Lots and lots of swing. Id like to see if i can find a different cover though because the one on the amp has been drilled into and someone mounted a fan on to the way it looks. Also the front of the amp has a switch mounted that is not stock.. |

My little jb 76 driver runs those 8417's As for the JB 2000 they were good amps very similar to heathkit 220's. They even produced a band switch for them. I regret selling mine you cant beat a 3-500z tube but I have to live with my neighbors and it was just too much temptation. Think they go buy wawassee now. |

Wawasee is history now... The owner was busted not by the FCC but by the IRS back i think in 1998..... :-( I used to visit them when they were over in Syracuse, Indiana and just sit and watch the guys work on radios and amps. Learned a lot about radios and amps too! |
