[HomeBrew] Tube QRP transmitter design

Hi,

Since I got no "takers" for the chassis, transformers etc that I was offering, 
I've decided to use the components to build a little "Glowbug" "QRP" CW 
transmitter, probably for 40M.  May use plug in coils for different bands 
(like 30M etc).  I would like to use a 6AQ5 as the "final" as I have one, and 
would "like" to have a VFO if possible (stability may be a problem there?)

Can anyone here point me to an On-web source for various designs?  I have the 
73 ARRL handbook which has a nice little 10W transmitter that could probably 
be adapted to a 6AQ5 final with a (6C4?) triode oscillator (it uses a 6T9 
Compactron which I DON'T have).

This rig would probably be used with my recently overhauled Hammarlund SP-600 
"boatanchor".
