Yes I called ameritron and they gave me the part# and I bought it right 
there.
No problem. I believe they will do the same for any of their units as
A few friends of mine have bought parts from them without issue.
I probably will try it outboard first in a box and then if it works ok
try to inboard it (I have my doubts as the clipperton L is real tight)
Anything is better than the way it stands now as the amp is unusable 
with the
746pro. The antenna tuner in the rig just cant handle the match like the 
mkV can.
Of  course OL Henry keeps chugging along and loves every minute of it 
with any rig.
