In a VHF amplifier design, it is even more important to locate C-tune 
close to the anode(s).  In the MLA-2500, C-tune is located at the front 
of the chassis while the amplifier tubes are located at the rear of the 
chassis.  It is my opinion that a serious relocation and electrical mod 
job is in order.

Adding tuned input is Definitely easier with single band operation.  //  
The current C-tune has too much min-C for a 6m design, however, it might 
work for C-load.  I would be looking for an approx. 30pF unit for C-tune. 
 I have a few available at the price of shipping.
