Just found it on Page 405 of my 1977 ARRL Handbook.

This one runs a pair of 6146's for 100W PEP Output
in AB1.  I suppose a switch could be wired to select
AB1 or C biasing?

It uses a 10M IF, the Dentron used a 80M IF but
folks strongly recommended the conversion to a
40M IF.  I am uncertain which is to be preferred
and why.
