[Amps] Dentron MLA-2500

[Peter Frenning, OZ1PIF]

Al, I would take a good long look at this one: 
http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/~jh2clv/gu74b2mmaking.htm
A very neat and clean plate circuit design (I'm currently trying to do one 
like it) - only draw-back is that the page is in Japanese only, but lots of 
pictures.
