A brain reset will reveal it was designed by Viewstar plus Fred Hammond,
financed by Hammond, was a sales dud due to few wanted to deal with
crossborder hassles, arced badly in the tank circuit, sold to B&W for the US
market and modified to stabilize.
Overpriced and still didnt sell well, a bit under 250 in the US.
I was a B&W US distributor and also was brought in to help with the
redesign. Also used a pair of unsold rebuilt Viewstars to win 2 ARRL DX
contests with KQ2M as the op as the shakedown test. Never a hiccup.

My feeble brain seems to think your amp was made by Viewstar (Canada ?)
and B&W stuck their name on it. Worth a Google.

Amp was NIB (NOS - S/N 233 a nice find) two years ago,
