All,

I ran across this solid state amp on ebay and thought it might be a good one to convert over to amateur service. I about bet now it's class C but a bias circuit can be added. It doesn't have a good RF keyer in it either. However, the builder did add an air variable capacitor for output tuning which is a step up for most. This "Pac Man" brand is a name I've never heard of. From the pictures though, it looks like a good candidate inside and that it may have enough room for a bandswitched filter board. If your not interested in buying it, the pics give a good idea of what they look like on the inside. Also, this amp uses 8 sets of push-pull amps using 16 transistors. In other words, it's a big amp.
