I'll just thank myself for the information.
Not sure why I even bother sharing the info.

REFERENCE:
Actually, it's called Gonset "Tri-Band" Amateur Converters.
This is not to be confused with the Gonset mobile Tri-Band Converter.

The Tri-Band Amateur Converter consists of  8 tubes. Two of the tubes are
used in
the AC power supply.
The "standard" configuration consists of three converters (2 tubes each)
27 - 30 MHz; 50 - 54 MHz; 21 - 21.5 MHz
There is a note on the schematic that says: 144 MHz section is similar to
the 50 MHz section.
and
14 MHz section is similar to the 21 MHz section
Seems to indicate you can "special order" this Tri-Band Converter to
cover 2 meters and 20 meters and give up 6 meters and 15 meters.

Converter uses minature, loctal, and octal tubes.

Output of the Tri-Band Amateur Converter is 6 MHz. and connected to
receiver
antenna terminals. Receiver is tuned to 6 MHz.

The manual shows no model number or picture. Schematic says Drawing
A-194.

Great info if you run out of things to talk about at a cocktail party!
