[Amps] Multi tube amp

[Roger (K8RI)]

Now that's a reminder of the "old days" when surplus 1625s were dirt 
cheap and you coud get all the 813s and 6C21s for $5 ea.

  A local, K8NIE had a setup similar to yours although I think he used a 
different driver.  The final looked like a forest of those modified 
1625s. I don't remember how many he used, but it was just on 160.
