[BC] Ebay FM amp deal

[Mike Vanhooser]

There is a problem with the amp.  I am the US distributor for Tugicom, made in Israel and a good product.  I know the amp will run lower because KQTZ is running one, a replacement for a PTEK 700w IPA.  I just did a minor repair on theirs, which blew a small cap from a lightning strike (mountaintop site).  It is in a Continental 25kw 816 and has been running fine for a year before the repair and a year since.  Contact Eldar Cohen at Tugicom, info at tugicom.com and he can help figure out the problem.  They are the seller on Ebay, and do accept returns within 14 days, and if you are outside that, I may be able to help you around that.
