For a 160-6m amp I would try a GS35b any day.

Me too.

Don't ever get sucked into using a particular tube or transformer, just because it's free. <snip>

I agree too. It is very ambitious to attempt to cover 6 meters within your 160-10 meter amp. Switching and layout become a major concern. The simplicity of a GS-35B triode G-G amp makes it very appealing to build six meters as a second amp. You can do this and use one HV supply for both. Cost of components is small for an add-on single band amp once you have the HF deck and HV power supply complete. 73, Tony W4ZT
