    I am looking for an AM-495 or the commercial version of it. I had one 
many years ago that I modified to run on 20 and 15 meters with my 20A SSB 
exciter. I don't need the power supply or the tubes.  If you have one at a 
reasonable price please contact me. My conversion was simple. I connected 
the tubes in parallel (they were push pull) the paralleled the two 
capacitor sections and used the entire output coil with a loading capacitor 
to form a Pi network.
    I also paralleled the input capacitors and used the entire input coil 
for a tuned input. Neutralization was not needed on HF.  This worked well 
until I sold it.
     If interested, I have an AM-8 to trade that has been converted to 60 
meters.
