How bizarre.  On the original HT transformer too.  That's going to last well.....not :-)

Still, his amp, his choice.  If you want to buy a new Porsche and graft a tractor engine into it then that's your choice....

##  he added  2 x  tubes .. not 3.    The xfmr u see in the pix is  the NEW  5V  @ 90A  fil xfmr.. not the  stock
plate xfmr.    The 5A  plate xfmr  + HV caps are external.   You guys can't read.  It's  3 kw pep  out on 11m.

Some joker took an SB-220, and added three tubes. I cannot tell from the
picture if the bandswitch is removed.
