Howdy,

I have a 'hacked' BC-696-A by Colonial that has the VFO section "gutted"
and rewired, tuning capacitor gone  and drive shaft/cable cut.  It appears
to been modified into an RF amplifier.  Has stamp, "Modified by H. F.
Beane Custom Communications, Newark Airport N.J." I have attempted to
trace out what is what.  It has the 1625's and 2 6L6's in the rear
sockets.  I don't think they are proper.  Trying to follow the signal path
don't know what tube(s) would have been used in rear.  Any thoughts?  Any
wants?
