Did they fell because they were pushed to hard? I know mine would do a little over 150 watts on SSB if i pushed it but i always kept it at around 100 watts and never had a problem. But i did get it from a 91 year old ham who hardly used it. Man i wish i still had it!
Here you go,my big radio!

MINE is average .....
It blows my mind to see what soem people run and how many $$$$$$$ they spend ....
A good base only needs to be one or two good radios made to cover what you are licensed ( or allowed ) to do. You don't need a 1,000 foot tower or a massive beam to work the world.
MOST hams I know spend under $1,000 on radios and under $200 on a antenna system This is the reason radios like the IC-718, IC-706, Ft-857 and FT-450 are such good sellers.
MIDRANGE stations you will find the FT-950, TS-2000 and the IC-7000 sell well they are a lot of radio in a small box.....
ANTENNAS .... You can buy a G5RV-JR dipole for $30 and cover most of the HF bands and 6 meters with a tuner or a DX-CC fan dipole for $150 and gain several "S" units over that G5RV ..... Verticals are the same I had good luck with the Hustler 4bvt and the hygain 12avq about $150 each .
Radio is anything else you can go bankrupt and still not have all the toys you want .....
It boils down to us boys have to have our toys .....Attached Files:

I tell you,That guy has worked hard,saved,bought and traded for years to get what he has! It really would blow your mind to see what he's got. And i dont mean just your run of the mill radios,he has some very high end and rare radios,especially when it comes to Collins.
I called him and asked if he would mind,he told me that since so many locals know my screen name on the net that he would rather i did not post up my pics here. He is afraid that someone would try and break end.....of corse his big roc would have something to say about that
