Try Tailgating at a local Hamfest in your area.
Many get sold that way.

How-doo?
Like Dale says the 2sc2879 is rated at 100w, but at 27 mhz they are usually only about 70% efficient so 4X70=280 watts AM with a little more on SSB.

I wouldn't take it back, I would go with him to a tech and then you both can hear what it should do and is doing from the tech at the same time.
But I tell you this, it's never going to do 600 watts even with 4 new pills in it. 400 watts is about all it's going to push.
"As Is" it's yours now.
