The Eldico TR-75 uses a 6AG7 oscillator and a807 PA and sometimes a 1646 
PA.  The transmitter was all on one chassis.  Eldico then sold a plate 
modulator for it which was connected to a rear terminal strip.  It had a 
government nomenclature painted in Army Drab.  In reality the RF portion 
was a TR-75.
