Ok it is 1956 when these xmtrs were made. If I had a Ranger then, what
would I buy for an amp?


Heathkit KL-1 Chippewa? Although that probably dates a few
years later, and may have been a "match" for the Apache.
The 4-400s could probably withstand the
duty cycle for AM operation. Besides the PEP issues, you have to
make sure the amp and its power supply will withstand AM
continuous carrier operation.

Most hams back then would have used the Ranger as an exciter
for a Class C amplifier deck with it's own high-level AM modulator.
That's the best way to do what you propose.
