Yes, actually that was my first amplifier before I knew better. I used 
the later version, known as the 666 for obvious reasons.

Unfortunately it absorbed RF instead of generating it, but I am still 
using it as a dummy load today. Because of the absorption issue, it 
requires heating instead of cooling, and the grid, instead of leaking, 
actually sucks.

Ah, the good 'ol days, especially April 1st.
