I'll bet that is the AM-8/TRC-1, isn't it? That amp can be very easily modified to operate as 
both a 6 and a 2 meter amp, good for about 300 watts input. Actually, it was designed for 70 - 
100 MHz.

Also, the 5-125A/4E27B tubes are a direct replacement for the earlier tubes, and have 
increased plate dissipation ratings.

I have several of those amps here, NIB.
