Back in the 70's I had a Frontier Electronics tranceiver. It covered
80 -10, had a solid state receiver and tubes in the transmitter (12BY7
driver and two 6146's in the final) similiar to the hy-brid setup of the
TS-520S. Anybody have info on this rig...who made it, etc.? Just curious
about it.

Could that be Frontier Electric Co. Ltd of Japan? They sold an HF SSB transceiver. Only pix I
could find are he

the U.S. amateur market.
