[TenTec] Centurion Amplifier history

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

It uses two huge old-fashioned transistors that glow in the dark and get
real hot.

Would you mind sharing with the list what you learn?  I've been considering
a Centurian amp, if it fits my budget, and would like to know what I should
and should not consider.

I'm looking at acquiring and adding a Model 422 Centurion to my Ten-Tec
station line up.  Can anyone tell me or point me to the history or evolution
of the Centurion?  Questions I have are:  any differences other than
cosmetics between the Model 422 and the current Model 422B?  Any  updates
that should be performed on the 422?  Are there any production runs (i.e.
serial number ranges) that should be avoided?  I've done a cursory internet
search but have not found a good history.
