[Boatanchors] Trying to identify the origination of a real nice heavy PA tuning deck - follow up comment

[Bill Mellema]

Hi Rob,
The two 4CX150 sockets are on the homebrew chassis next to the PA tuning assembly. I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how to upload them to a site so everyone can view them.
If anyone has tips on where I can upload pictures for the gang to download I would appreciate it..
Many Thanks,
Bill N3WM

I don't think ceramic tubes were around in the late '40s or early
'50s.  Back then the exposed anode tubes were glass.

With total plate dissipation of 300 w. the hardware might handle that
power but the two 4cx150s will probably not even give 2 KW input.
