[Amps] 5cx1500 Amp

[Robert Perdue]

I can figure it out and it does work very well I just thought it would be 
nice to find out if it was built from an old handbook article or if there 
were others out there running the same tube. See the attached pictures. The 
amp was built by a silent key KB0BY
