[Boatanchors] VHF linear amp?

[Gary Peterson]

Ron,

The Johnson Viking 6 & 2 Thunderbolt used 4CX250Bs.  These are fairly scarce amplifiers.  I owned one, briefly.  A friend pestered me, incessantly, until I sold it to him.

There may have been other commercially made 4CX250B amps for amateur use.  I just can’t think of any.  I have plenty of FM broadcast pulls, sockets, chimneys, etc.  I used to replace the driver tubes, annually, even if they were still providing full drive to the PA.  You could always hombrew an amp.

I've had a long desire to QRO a bit on
VHF 6, 2, or even UHF 70cm, and was wondering what type of boatanchor
amplifiers that use these tubes I might find? Ron VE8RT
