Nearly all (of current manufacture) that I know of. Also these amps
that were designed during the so called 10 meter prohibition were easily
put back on 10, or most of them were. Some that had a tuned input
needed the parts for the input, but many took nothing more than moving
the band switch stop. Every thing was already wired up and ready to go.
I sold and serviced a lot of equipment back in the 60's and 70's and got
to see a lot of this. Many took less than 5 minutes to take it apart,
make the change, put the cover back on, and it was ready to test. You
might even squeeze the test in the 5 minutes.
However there is on thing about companies selling these outdated amps
and if they do not have 10 meters which is now permitted I see them as
outdated, to sell them with 10 meters in the US it is likely they would
have to get FCC approval as it means a change to the circuit as sold.
