Hi all,

I have two tube RF amplifiers, a Browning Mark 100 Mobile and an ABC Electronics 150. 

I wasn't able to find much info on the ABC, but the Browning appears to be a mobile version of the model 170?  The 180 looks to have one relay and one tube for switching between receive/transmit, but mine has two relays instead.    The Browning also appears to be unused.  it is S/N 2204

Both amps came from a CB/radio repair shop in my hometown that closed sometime in the mid 70's,  when the owner passed my grandfather received quite a bit of stuff from his estate.  These two amps were in the mix and have been sitting in storage for about 15 years or better.

Pictures for drooling if need be:

Browning has two 6JG6A tubes.

 

Still have the mounting bracket even.

The ABC 150 has three tubes:
 6B05, 6K6V, Eimac 8875

I couldn't find much on this model, anyone have any info?

Some photos of the ABC:

It has seen a lot of use.  The cooling fan must have died at some point, a baffle has been removed from the case and the rivets drilled.  The mounting of the current fan was done with some strip steel scraps.
