I have for sale my Henry Tempo 6n2. This amplifier has an output of a kW on both 6 and 2 meters. The desktop unit contains both the RF deck and power supply.

I have owned this great amp since 1982 which was used for contesting, tropo, ms, and EME. I replaced the diode stack in 1983 and it has run solid ever since. The meter occasionally sticks and can be unstuck by a tap. It obviously does not affect the output power which should be monitored with a wattmeter. I removed it from service this past February after the Jan VHF SS.

Reason for selling - I have acquired a Harris amp for 6m and an 8877 amp for 2m. I do not want to use the 6n2 as a backup and would rather it go to an active vhfer, EMEer. This also includes the service manual with a parts list and schematics. Price is $1475. I can arrange for a pickup within a couple hundred miles of FM29mt or possibly can make an exchange at Dayton. Pictures upon request.

While at a hamfest yesterday I came upon a Henry Tempo 6N2 6m/2m kW amplifier. I have been looking for a Henry 2002A but have never heard of this 6N2. After some searching it appears this amp is the precursor to the Henry 2000 series. It was made from 1972-1975 (on-line information). The 6N2 was being sold as is.

The owner said it did not work and it was too heavy to ship for repair. He mentioned someone named Linda (I think) in Florida who is supposed to be a Henry amp guru. He said after sending her some photos and describing the situation the best he could, she told him she thought this could be a quick fix. He was concerned about shipping cost to and from Florida (it says it the literature it weighs 80 lbs) and decided to try to sell locally. The amp came with paperwork showing the 1 kW output and that this amp uses two 8874 tubes. Thinking it was worth the $100 gamble, being an early Henry amp, I brought it home.

It is clean inside with no obvious signs of burns or overheating. The case and front panel are in good cosmetic shape. The purpose of this thread is to ask for information/experience/opinions of the Henry Tempo 6N2 amp (I am primarily interested in 2m as I have no 6m equipment). Also, if it were in good usable condition, what would this amp be worth? I have no experience working on tube type amps so any repair will have to be done by a repair shop or generous elmer.

Eads Tetrapol User Manual here. So.what do you think? Properly operating, I'd say it's worth a kilobuck or maybe a bit more than that. That is, properly operating with good 8874 tubes. 8874s are very expensive today and a new pair can easily cost six hundred bucks. The Florida amp repair shop is The Amp Lady. She has a website. You didn't say what your 2m rig is, but that amp needs about 50W drive on 2m.

Less won't let it run full power, and more can damage it. The power rating is PEP on SSB/CW, it won't run a kW on FM.at least, not for long. I've used several of those amps, they were manufactured here in L.A. And there are quite a few of them around here. Henry can probably still service it if need be; they no longer make any tube amps, but the shop remains and last I looked they had a LOT of spare parts for the older amps.
