Folks,

I'm working on a Golden Falcon RF Linear Amplifier. This is not the 
Golden Falcon 2000.

My amplifier has the following characteristics:

Golden Falcon 2/2/1977

Finals: four 6LF6's in parallel
Drivers: 6LF6 and 6LX6 in parallel, (interchangeable)

The power connector is standard 125 V, with 20A fuse.
The B+ caps appear to be 450 V.

There appears to be a single-transistor T/R switch, with open-style relays

Controls: on/off, Rec Amp on/off, SSB/AM, transmit/stby, hi/low, plate 
tune,
antenna tune, Band 40M/20M/15M/10M, driver tune.

Connectors: RF in and RF out

I don't know how much power it can put out, but I think not nearly a KW.
Maybe as much as 300W. The 6LF6's seem to be about 60 W plate
dissipation each.

Does anyone think he has any schematics similar to that?

Thanks in advance,
