What kind of price are you looking for each of these? It’s nice to know where to start with an offer.

I should have also added that the 271A and 1271A both have 110V internal power supplies; that's how they are both powered right now. The 471H takes an external 12VDC supply (I have a couple of Astron RS-20 power supplies I could sell, as well).

All are in clean, working condition unless otherwise specified. All are currently connected to an antenna and can be demoed or we can set up a QSO. I've talked with a few of you using these rigs already. :) These are older radios (mid-'80s), but are well-known for being very good rigs.

1. IC-271A - 2m all-mode. All functions work fine. I've made SSB, FM, and digital contacts with this rig. So far as I can tell, it has no problems. It does have its original RAM board, and the battery voltage tested fine; I'd suggest replacing it as a matter of course, though, whenever you get around to it.

2. IC-471H - 440 all-mode. Everything works fine, with two exceptions. First, it seems to put out half power (about 35W); maybe one of the two final transistors is blown. Two, I think it has a loose wire going to the internal speaker; headphones work perfectly (looking at the schematic, I can see which connection may be loose, but I've not tried to fix it yet). I've upgraded this unit with a new RAM board (cost: $60).

3. IC-1271A - 1.2GHz all-mode. I don't have an antenna up for 23cm, but I've used my 440 horizontal loop for low-power testing. I was able to have a QSO on a local repeater with no problems. I do not have an SWR/power meter for this band, either, so I can't verify output. It seems to work fine based on the little use I've given it.
