Sounds like a generic pre SS exciters amp that may have been any magazine or 
HB and modified by the builder. Those same sources will also have info on 
the other bands in the years since we got 1500W on 160.

You can even buy all/some of the components from Ameritron or copy the 
circuit from hamfest and Fleabay finds.

Use Ians software for tank circuit values, it doesnt get any easier.
