It's a good thing I forget the callsign of the guy who used this amp.  I do
know who built it however.

That's 4 - 4-1000s.

It was in the attic with a Henry "driver" and a chalkboard or something
like that which you swung up to show the controls for the amp.

It was only used on 20 meters.

I bought this amp for $300 around 1975.  It got turned into a number of
amps from the parts by WB6JOS/KB6I.  I never put it on the air.
