I always thought Bill Orr, W6SAI, had the right idea in his 60's/70's
issue(s) of Radio Handbook.  I think he used rack containing a separate,
rack-mounted amp (813's?) for each band all fed from one power supply.  I
don't recall how the switching was accomplished.

Speaking of books...I was in the local electronics parts outlet (called,
amazingly, Electronic Parts Outlet) and found W9KNI's Complete DX'er on the
bookshelf.  I hadn't seen that for years and had heard it was a hard to find
book these days. .
