    Make sure it has the chip switch so you can use it on 11m, and ask what other mods may have been done to it, also ask for a few photos. If it looks good and he can provide photos of it powered up and working, it might be worth it.

    This is Doc. He's been around forever and specializes in one thing...2510's and the like (Lincoln etc). Nobody knows these radios like Doc and nobody can get then to sound and perform like Doc. A Doc tuned and cbipswitched 2510 will fetch $300 easily on resale. You may consider contacting him with your questions.

    No doubt DOC of New York is a master of the 2510's seen a lot of his work. Not first hand, but many vids. I was just reminiscing about my old tech that no longer does radio work, he has gotten too old. His name was Charlie, handle was snake, he was located in the Daytona beach, fl area, he was a good tech as well. But yes, doc of New York is the man when it comes to the 2510's.

    If you can find one the Magnum S45HP is a really nice radio for 10 and 11. Not over complicated and reliable.(As far as I know, I've had mine for 3 months.) It comes from the factory with the RFX75 installed. It has AM, FM, SSB and might even have CW.

    I will say this, I have had good luck with my magnum 257hp, made contacts all around the world on 11m ssb. I know they stopped making them as well. I use mine with a magnaforce 350hd and it works well. I always get compliments on how clean it sounds. Just have to keep an eye on the rfx75 unit, they do get warm, I use a brushless pico fan on mine and it stays nice and cool. Anyway, just another radio thought I would throw in the mix.

    No worries, that's a good deal, the amp I run is made by xforce as well and it does the job for me. It's only a 2 pill, but I used it to talk with you so it must be working a little lol. Anyway, can't wait to see the new setup and hear from you again. God bless
