Actually, it is MUCH easier than that: you connect a pair of capacitors in 
parallel with the main tuning cap for 6 meters and the same ones in series 
for 2 meters, and the amp works on both bands, 6 AND 2 meters, 250 watts 
output.

The amp has a pair of 4E27s in a neutralized push-pull system in it. It even 
includes an antenna-changeover relay, a blower, and a filament transformer, 
all 110 VAC 60 Hz.

Those I have left are NIB. I had six. I think I have three left.

For more power, install a pair of 5-125B/4E27As in it.
