Ham Supply Ameritron Amplifier Overlay

Ameritron Amplifier Overlay

Overlay for Ameritron AL-82, AL-1200, and AL-1500 Amplifiers.

Do you have an Ameritron AL-82, AL-1200, or AL-1500 amplifier? These are fine amplifiers for sure, but the front panel markings leave a few things to be desired.

We offer a panel overlay, made from the same durable plastic and the same surface finish as the factory front panel, which glues over the original panel using 3M double-sided adhesive. When the overlay is in place, it looks absolutely stock.

Why would you want to change the way your amp front panel looks, you ask? The pictures tell the story:

Ameritron Amplifier – Plate Old

Ameritron Amplifier – Plate New

With the factory PLATE label the band suggestions are often way off, and there is no scale. With our panel overlay, you get a proper scale.

Ameritron Amplifier – Load Old

Ameritron Amplifier – Load New

With the factory LOAD label there is a scale, but it is difficult to write down values from it, because there are only three divisions per unit: one quarter, half, and three quarters. With our panel overlay it is much easier to write down where the knob should point.

Ameritron Amplifier – Band Old

Ameritron Amplifier – Band New

The factory BAND label doesn’t show what positions to use for 30, 12, or 10 meters. The Ham Supply label does.

With the Ham Supply/Idiom Press panel overlay, you can finally make a proper band chart! Here’s how the amplifier looks with the Ham Supply/Idiom Press panel overlay installed:

The Ham Supply/Idiom Press label is easy to install, and comes with alignment aids and the necessary Allen wrench to remove the knobs.
