Yes there was a 6M version of the L4 that never made it to production. There
was at least 2 prototypes, I knew of at least one that was sold and the
buyer said he was going to convert it back to an L4. If you saw a Drake
L-6, it was probably the last one in existence.
The prototype would have had a black on brushed aluminum front panel as that
was the method used before the silkscreen front panel artwork was
released for production.
There was an Eimac AS newsletter that showed how to convert a SWAN pair of
3-400z amp to 6m.
