OK, I got an old linear that I acquired from my late FIL about 20 yrs
ago. It's been in cool clean storage ever since and I'd like to get
rid of it. I tried to sell on ebay till I got mucho alerts to the
effect ebay no liking CB linear listings. I pulled it. I don't know
much about radio, but I'm sure it was a CB linear cuz he never had a
ham license. I was advised by one helpful fellow that I should list
it as a ham linear and make no mention of CB. That makes sense, but I
pride myself on being very accurate and honest about what I sell and
so would like some help identifying this particular piece of hardware,
it at all possible.

It has no brand name on it, so I suspect it's a homebrew. It's a very
nice job if it is. It has a 2" high chassis box with one vacuum tube
and a pretty good size transformer mounted on top. A 4" high full
cover over that is machine perferated on 3 sides for cooling.

Transformer: GRAND 11-2206A GT-6974 7578049
vacuum tube: 6805/EL84

On lower front lower chassis, it has an ON/OFF and STDBY switch and
one red light. The meter is a Sonar brand:

S units -- DB
Output 0-30+

Rear lower chassis has IN and OUT antenna jacks and a ground wire
terminal and of course, an AC plug. Overall dimensions with cover on
are 6"H X 7"W X 5"D. Weight approx 6-8lbs.

I don't know if anything can be determined by the above info, but any
help would be appreciated. I can open her up all the way, if that
will help. I'm not real savvy on radio, but do know basic electronics
and can identify different components. Thank you.

The plate dissapation of the tube you described is only about 10 or 20
watts. This is not anything any ham would want.

And that is at audio frequencies, IIRC. Lots of guitar amps use that tube in
push-pull, or AB1 single tube config. I'm reaching way back and my memory is
having problems, but I think I'm in the ballpark.
