Either Motorola or GE had a VHF amp that used a pair of 4-125s, or 4-65s.
You might find an old repeater with one of these still in tact for little of
nothing. At any rate the schematics should be available

The GE amp was biased for class "C" with a pair 4-125s and 4-65s would work
with proper voltages, The amp I am thinking of had a 2E26 driving a 4-65 with
a pair of 807s modulating the 4-65. Not the best plan but made a fair AM
signal. Some used a 4-125 in place of the 4-65.
You might also look into the Quintron paging transmitter using a 4-400, the
one for 48 MHz will tune 6 meters and the powersupply and was designed for
650W full duty. You just need to bias the Final for SSB.I have seen then sell
for a little as $150 complete.
If I find the article I will scan it and send it to NØLRF
